St. Lucie West Centennial High School Culinary Students Visit Oak and Ember Restaurant

Oak & Ember Sparks Culinary Inspiration for SLW Centennial High School Culinary Students

Centennial would like to extend a profound acknowledgment to the exceptional team at Oak & Ember in Stuart. During a recent visit, Chef Raf delivered an extraordinary experience for our Culinary Arts students from St. Lucie West Centennial High School. His energy, expertise, and generosity of knowledge—shared in such a short amount of time—left a lasting impact on every student present. The real, industry-level techniques and insights he provided will continue to shape their growth long after they return to the classroom.

Oak & Ember is a beautiful property, but it was the professionalism, passion, and commitment to excellence from the entire team that truly set this experience apart. Their willingness to pour into the next generation of culinarians created a meaningful and unforgettable opportunity for our students.

We are deeply grateful for their hospitality, mentorship, and support. We look forward to the possibility of returning—and one day seeing some of our students working alongside this remarkable team.
