Record crowds of parents, teachers, administrators,
chef mentors and members of the public jammed
the Oregon Convention Center for the 2006 State
High School Culinary and Management Championships
to watch 205 students from around the state
compete for the state hospitality titles. Tension
mounted as everyone gathered in the morning
before the kickoff of the first culinary and
case study heats. This year's panel of judges
which came from as far away as Denver, Colorado
and from all corners of Oregon were thrilled
with the level of professionalism and technique
that students exhibited throughout the day.

After a day of intense concentration, the final
awards winners were revealed during a sold-out
banquet attended by supporters eager to learn
the placing teams. At the end of the day, all
students were winners with the valuable experience
they gained by participating in this event and
developing their careers in the hospitality
industry. The final results of the event are
as follows: (For the first time in the history
of the ProStart competition, the same school
won both championship titles!)
