From travel experiences to ensuring prepared food is safe to eat, hospitality is present in nearly every industry. To introduce students to careers in hospitality, students at Benjamin Russell High School have the opportunity to take courses to explore hospitality and tourism careers.
Family and consumer sciences teacher Kinya Hibbler teaches four classes for students interested in careers in hospitality and tourism.
