Arc Broward

Today, we celebrated Zhyon’s graduation from the Arc Educates Entry-level Culinary Arts Certificate program! He impressed us all with a lunch inspired by his Bahamian roots—absolutely delicious! Surrounded by his family, classmates, instructors, and kitchen colleagues, we cheered him on as he steps into a bright future. Zhyon’s culinary talent and caring heart make him such a special young man. We couldn’t be prouder of him and can’t wait to see all the amazing things he’ll achieve! #ProudMoment #CulinaryArts #BrightFuture
