The Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology, AACT, is an career technical education school within the Washoe County School District. It gives students an alternative opportunity to help them decide on various paths to secondary education. There are eight academies in the program- communications arts and media, culinary, teaching and training, engineering, fire science, high school of business, medical, and natural resources and animal sciences. In April, a team of sophomore culinary students won first place in the state competition in Las Vegas and presented a fund raiser to help get them to nationals. The winning team with the support of their fellow classmates and the hospitality class presented an incredible six course dinner in the cafe at the AACT campus. I have dined around the world at various levels of restaurant and street cuisine, these kids did a phenomenal job- in quality and execution of the plates, hospitality, and cooperation. What 10th grader have you met that knows how to prepare roasted figs, pomegranate molasses, and burrata mousse; beef tartare; French rack of lamb with couscous; branzino and bulgar; and blueberry limoncello tiramisu. Little lone know what they are ? I have the greatest respect for these students and their teacher/mentors, for these are our future chefs. And I expect to be well fed ! The school does have a cafe open to the public on Thursdays from noon to 1 pm at the AACT Restaurant, 380 Edison Way, Reno.

I am amazed at the AACT Restaurant! The food is always tasty, very reasonably priced and changes every week. The kids take turns creating the menu, doing the work to establish pricing, learn to work the kitchen, as well as opportunities to earn some money and experience as servers to the dining area. These young adults are always very professional, and polite. Great skills being learned here. I love that this is open to the public. I hope that more people hear about it and support the students and the program. The restaurant is only open select Thursdays, so be sure to visit their website to see the dates and make a reservation. The menu changes each time. You can see the menus ahead of time on their website: https://www.aacttrailblazers.com/culinary-and-hospitality-academy.html . While pricing is not listed on the site, it is always reasonable and very tasty. I have been several times now, and my meal has never been more than $15 (app, entree, desert). The tables are typically decorated with flower arrangements made by students and are for sale as well. Note: Cash only.

The staff talk bad about the students to each other, and are super biased (some of them are racist, sexist, and treat you worse if you're not popular). The work isn't even good either, it's all notes and remembering stuff, not actually learning. Ive also noticed that the school is so money hungry, theyre always trying to get funds or donations. Also the fence of the pearl building was broken for a whole year without fixing. (Still might be) and the school is right next to a mental hospital and highway so anyone could've just gotten in the school.

He came in struggling with different subjects and just got pushed aside. He asked for help and the teachers make him feel less than. I believe it was his math teacher who implied that he was "retarded". Moving through the school year he has displayed behavior problems as well. Who wouldn't, the adults he trust to guide him make him feel worthless so who wouldn't act out. I have dealt with mr Chubb calling me telling me that my child was outside being a nuisance when my kid was actually home in bed for the day. I know that kids will be kids and tell there side but a few things have made me believe that these teachers are indeed corrupt and show severe favoritism to certain groups. My recent experience is one of the students stole my sons backpack containing $400 and his iPhone X. My son tried defending his property and not only doesn't have his property back but he now as a black eye as well. I've left 3 messages for mr Chubb to call me back and he has yet to respond. This school is a joke and since attending this school they have managed to dim the light my son once shined. His self esteem and confidence has gone down the drain. Thanks for "nurturing" my son's young mind Reno High. He will continue his high school education elsewhere.

For three decades I've watched its teachers and their elementary school students every year do the following (except of course during Covid), and I've personally been the recipient of their love and gratitude dozens of times. Every Valentine's Day, every St. Patrick Day's Day, every 4th of July, every Halloween, every Veterans Day, every Thanksgiving, and every Christmas its teachers and students create heartfelt cards of love and gratitude, walk the couple blocks to the Veterans hospital and deliver them to the 60 Veterans at the Veterans Community Living Center, the dozens of in-patient Veterans there and leave cards of love and gratitude through-out the Veterans hospital for the some 60,000 of we Veterans who visit every year as an out-patient at the Veterans hospital in Reno, Nevada. On the National Register as #93000690, "The Little Red Schoolhouse Was Never Like This One" opened in 1949. It was designed by Russell Mills in Art Moderne-style. "Veterans Memorial School was the then most technologically advanced facility in the school district. Included were innovative features such as the scaling of furniture to the age and size of the students, the use of blond furniture, which was believed to be comforting to children's eyes, classroom lighting provided by windows at a height of six feet, with glass brick above to diffuse direct sunlight, and warm paint colors in north-facing rooms and cool colors in those facing south. An efficient, modern kitchen offered hot lunches in the auditorium, which also functioned as the cafeteria and the gymnasium. The central library was the first at a grade school, and each classroom was connected to a central telephone and radio system. But perhaps the greatest innovation was the installation of television outlets in each classroom several years before the area had a television station. Veterans Memorial School was a benchmark for education in post-WWII Washoe County. In the decade following its construction, 22 schools were built in Reno, all drawing on the standards it had set." https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63816781 https://www.yelp.com/biz/national-archives-and-records-administration-washington
