Who is ProStart?

TRHS ProStart attracts students from inside and outside of Douglas County School District. Currently, we have students from 8 other high schools who travel to TRHS to spend their afternoons here for ProStart class. Generally, we hold ProStart 1 and 2 in the afternoons at TRHS which allows students to work around their classes at their home school! Interested in registering for ProStart?

You should take ProStart if...

  • You have a passion for all kinds of cooking and food...from breakfast foods to desserts and pastries!

  • You want to know about the business aspects within the food service industry!

  • You have strong time management skills!

  • You are interested in learning what it takes to run a restaurant!

  • You will be a Junior or Senior next year!

  • You want to work with industry professionals - managers, directors, and chefs!

  • You look forward to meeting students from other schools!

If you will be a JUNIOR next year, I recommend that you enroll in ProStart 1 next year and ProStart 2 during your senior year. If you will be a SENIOR next year, I recommend you enroll in the "accelerated program" which allows you to have the opportunity complete ProStart 1 & 2 your senior year, gaining you access to National ProStart Certification. Seniors who choose to complete both years during their senior year will be enrolled in two ProStart classes (ProStart 1 & ProStart 2). Please note, SENIORS have the option to enroll in ProStart I only, however they will not complete the entire 2-year program.
