I am Ms. Janet Simms a Family & Consumer Science teacher also teaching culinary arts at Pearland High School. Career & Technology is the department for culinary & nutrition.  Culinary is in the Hospitality & Tourism career cluster and nutrition is in the Human Services path.   I am teaching the new class to PHS; Culinary Arts a 2 period class, I also teach Introduction to Culinary Arts and Lifetime Nutrition & Wellness.  Over the summer of 2019 the original food lab with 6 kitchens turned into a culinary lab with 10 stations. What a beautiful lab with all new equipment for students & our department! I have been teaching at PHS for 21 years.  However, I have several years of experience in restaurant management so I am able to bring hands on knowledge from the industry to the classroom.
