Council proclaims support for McGavick High culinary students and new food truck
Summary
The Metropolitan Council read a proclamation recognizing McGavick High School’s culinary arts students for launching a student-run food truck, praising the program’s hands-on career and technical education.
Councilmember Greg Furze read a proclamation Wednesday recognizing the culinary arts students at McGavick High School for launching a student-run food truck, the Raider Bytes, and praised the program’s career and technical education. “The Raider Bytes food truck reflects a strong tradition of innovation and excellence at McGavick High School,” Furze said as he opened the proclamation.
The proclamation, read on behalf of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, notes McGavick High School’s history as a comprehensive high school since its opening in 1971 and frames the food truck as a hands-on learning opportunity that will be staffed and operated by students. The text thanks faculty and community partners, and singles out culinary instructors for mentorship that supported the project.
McGavick’s principal, speaking after the proclamation, said the recognition was meaningful to students and staff and praised the students’ willingness to “take the risk to do something different.” Council members and attendees applauded; a photo opportunity followed the reading.
The proclamation does not record any separate vote or ordinance; it is a formal recognition read into the record by Councilmember Greg Furze.
