During its inaugural year, students from Morse, San Diego, Mira Mesa, Hoover and Garfield high schools who are in multiple career pathways will gain hands-on learning experiences managing the roving culinary business.
“That hands-on experience really sets you up for a good college career for all the jobs that are coming,” Mya Diaz, a Patrick Henry High senior, said.
Sunset Bites was named by Mira Mesa High senior Kristine Huynh.
“When I think of San Diego, I think of sunsets and all the good food," Huynh said. "Me and my family would always buy tacos and bring it to the beach."
The San Diego-based company Intuit donated a fully operational food truck that is equipped with a commercial-grade kitchen and will help college, career and technical education students develop technical, financial and entrepreneurial skills.
