Last month, Peninsula High School's kitchen was the scene of amazing creativity.  Twenty-four students, representing each high school in the district, participated in a cook-off in hopes of winning the title, PSD Iron Chef.  The Chef Boyar-z’s representing Henderson Bay earned the title of PSD Iron Chef.  This year's team members were: Gabe Colglazier, Stephanielynn Stevens, Skiler Cooper-Dewitz and Jordan Doble. The Chef Boyar-z’s prepared macadamia crusted mahi-mahi with coconut infused rice along with a crisp green salad.  Congratulations to the Chef Boyar-z’s and all the students that participated.
