Pulaski High School ProStart Invitationals 2016

ProStart Invitational 2015

Both ProStart teams had awesome performances and represented Pulaski extremely well at the Wisconsin ProStart Invitational.  Our high school management team took second place in the state with their made-to-order pierogi concept.  It's always great to show off our Polish pride, especially in our food; perhaps one day we'll open this restaurant here in Pulaski :).  Please congratulate Grant Bachman, Bailey Baron, and Morgan VandenLangenberg on their 2nd place win and each receiving over $28,000 scholarships to culinary schools across the country! 

Our culinary team also did an amazing job, with judge comments including having the best poached fruit in the competition, as well as outstanding teamwork & communication.  Please congratulate Emma Bestul, Emilee Hendricks, Natalie Nickerson, and Destiny Prendiville on a great performance.

              

NRAEF ProStart Invitational

Attending the National Restaurant Association ProStart Invitational was an educational experience in so many ways.  It’s amazing to see how much dedication, creativity, and pure talent ProStart students from across the country have and seeing our future leaders of the food-service industry. I was extremely proud of both teams that represented Wisconsin, Pulaski High School in the management competition and Badger High School (Lake Geneva) in the culinary competition.  Both teams were poised, professional, and made me proud to be from Wisconsin.

Although there was a healthy amount of stress, there was even more of pride because our Pulaski High School management team accomplished and learned so much leading up to the event.  I cannot provide enough thanks to all of the parents, business professionals, the Wisconsin Restaurant Association, and our especially our mentors, Chef Ben Raupp (SALT, De Pere) and Chefs Kelly Qualley & Josh Swanson (Hinterland, Green Bay) for all of their help.

Congratulations to Grant Bachman, Brooke Baron, Kaylee Court, and Hannah Stephanie for being such amazing team members whom I'm proud to say I'm your teacher. 

Much love, -Moehr

 

 

 

 

WI ProStart Invitational and Midwest Food Expo 2014

It was an amazing and challenging year for Pulaski High School's ProStart team as four ambitious students decided to take on both management and culinary events.  The result? FIRST PLACE IN MANAGEMENT and an awesome effort in culinary, including first place in Dessert Presentation and second place in Dessert Taste.  I couldn't be more proud of Grant Bachman, Brooke Baron, Kaylee Court, and Hannah Stephanie.  Our journey will soon continue in Minneapolis, MN, May 4-6, when the team will compete at the National Restaurant Association ProStart Invitational in the management event while we cheer on Badger High School, Lake Geneva, WI in the culinary event. GO WISCONSIN!
