A Huge Congratulations to the Restaurant Management Team - Best in the Nation! 

From the Hartford Courant:

Wilbur Cross High School has won the national restaurant management title at a competition in Washington D.C! That puts a spotlight on future restauranteurs. A proud Wilbur Cross principal, Matthew Brown, said Chef Nathanial Bradshaw and his team have made the Culinary and Culinary Management Program at the school “A world-class endeavor.” 

The students who engage in this program fully represent the incredibly diverse student body of our school,” he said. “The work they do inspires students throughout the school – and the adults as well. It shows what dedication to craft, a willingness to take risks and be creative, and a commitment to excellence can produce ”

Winners of the John Lewis Award!

From the New Haven Independent:  

This past December more than a dozen Wilbur Cross High School students participated in a state competition hosted by the Center for Civic Education and dubbed, ​“We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution.” During the competition, students ​“testified” before a panel of judges acting as members of Congress. Wilbur Cross history teacher Brian Grindrod trained the class of students, as he has with four previous classes over the years. The team did win the contest’s John Lewis scholarship award. That award is given each year to an urban, high-needs high school. It secured Cross’s team a spot in the 36th Annual We the People National Finals in Washington, D.C on April 21 – 23 and it provided the 18-student local team with a start of $10,000 in funding to travel there and participate.
