The team comprised of nine students from Clinton High School represented Mississippi in early May.
'To make it to fourth place and get to go up on stage with these amazing sponsors and give the kids to be in the national spotlight was incredible for them,' said Catherine Bruce, Chef Instructor at Clinton High School.
It's been a culmination of hard work over the years, climbing from 29th place in 2023, placing 18th in 2024 to this year finishing fourth in the nation.
Students prepared a three-course meal in just one hour. Their menu featured staples from the Delta to the Coast, starting off with crab croquettes, serving up Gulf redfish for the entree and to top it off a Mississippi mud cake.
In a first for the program, four students competed in the restaurant management competition.
