Jeff State Culinary & Hospitality Institute- Hoover,AL


Missie, Kenny, and Jason are some of the wonderful people that work to make the C&H Institute a success. Kenneth MoorePurchasing Manager/Instructor, works with our OMHS student weekly. We appreciate the time he takes to make this a true hands-on learning experience.

The hydroponic garden is flourishing and continues to get bigger each week. We were also introduced to a sous vide cooker. What is a sous vide- you may ask? It is the process of sealing food in an airtight container—usually a vacuum sealed bag—and then cooking that food in temperature-controlled water. In French, the term translates to "under vacuum," which makes sense.

Blue Rain Express Car Wash- Hoover,AL



We want to thank Brad Bailey for allowing our Shelby County School's Work Instruction program to partner with Blue Rain Car Wash. At the end of the day, not only do they deliver a car that is cleaner, shinier, and drier than anyone else around, but they do so in manner that is ultimately more “green.”
Washing your car no longer has to be the unpleasant chore you try to put off. Clean, shiny, and dry in 3 minutes! Come see why the Blue Rain Express is the truly the best car wash experience for your money.

Our OMHS experienced his first day of Work Instruction at Blue Rain today. He was able to assist with car detailing and also laundered the drying clothes to be placed at vacuum stations.
