Oh My Gourd—It’s Competition Time!


3 Fall Flavors Better than Pumpkin Spice – Advanced Biotech


Last Chance- Waivers For Competitions


If you have signed up for Creative Cakes, Burger Battle, or Mocktail Madness on October 28th, please have your competing students fill out the waiver HERE. If your students do not have this waiver completed, they will not be able to compete.


Check out our TikTok HERE if your students need any Mocktail Madness Inspiration!


Leadership Lab Canceled


Unfortunately, due to lower than required registrations for the Ohio Hospitality CTSO Leadership Lab, we had to cancel the event on October 29th. We only had a few schools out of the 25 schools in the program register for the event. This was not only disappointing to us, but to our speakers, exhibitors, event partners, and the schools that had signed up to partisipate. We are hopeful to reschedule the event for a later date.


The new educator Portal password is 2025*ProStart
