Chef, Adam Jonas, a Culinary Arts educator and Red Seal Chef with 18 years of experience teachingat Centennial Secondary. work focuses on inclusive education, food systems, and addressing food insecurity through student‐centered, hands‐on learning. He is committed to developing students’ practical, real‐world, and transferable skills that support their growth beyond the teaching kitchen classroom.
At Centennial, he has taken the lead on establishing our breakfast and snack programs and led the creation and operation of the school food garden, an experiential learning space that supplies our culinary program with access to fresh herbs, vegetables, and salad greens.
With continued growing community support, I am dedicated to sustaining and expanding pro-grams that improve food access, student well‐being, and build a healthier, more resilient school community.
