The Hilltopper Restaurant
Opening Soon!
We’ll open for regular lunch service in October. Stay tuned for more information.
St Johnsbury Academy Culinary Arts sets high standards for our students as we prepare them for career and college readiness. We appreciate the support of St Johnsbury Academy and our local community.
The Hilltopper Restaurant is a unique learning experience for our students. It is open to the public and serviced by Academy students to provide a real-world restaurant experience. Students are instructed in food procurement and preparation, customer service and dining room management, food safety, and the financial management of a business establishment.
Students utilize the Hilltopper Restaurant as a “working classroom”, developing entry-level culinary skills needed for success in the food service industry or continuing education. Standard-level courses offered in our Hospitality Restaurant Management and Culinary Principles programs provide students with hands-on instruction to build skills while learning kitchen safety and sanitation. They are introduced to Hospitality career pathways and to front-of-house operations.
Students are required to complete ServSafe, a food and beverage certification program administered by the U.S. National Restaurant Association, through which they can earn an Industry Recognized Credential.
