ORIGINAL: East View High School 2021 graduate Claire OShoney is one of the top three finalists in the National Culinary Arts competition for the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) organization.
After placing 1st at both the regional and state level, Claire competed at nationals alongside the best teen chefs from each state. Last week, FCCLA announced that Claire has placed in the top three at nationals, making her one of the top teen chefs in America. Her official standing – either first, second, or third place – will be announced next Wednesday.
“Getting third would be absolutely incredible, and anything beyond that is just a blessing beyond what I could have ever imagined,” Claire said.
When it comes to her future, Claire is deciding between studying food sciences and technology at Texas A&M Corpus Christi, or, depending on her national placement, moving to New York City to study at the Culinary Institute of America and intern at Le Bernardin.
A watch party for the awards ceremony will be hosted at the Georgetown ISD Hammerlun Center for Leadership & Learning boardroom from 6:30-7:30pm on Wednesday, June 30.
