🍔 Come Eat Our Homework! 🍔

Learning has never been this tasty! At the National High School BBQ Association, we’ve taken education beyond the textbooks with our unique approach to Project-Based (BASTE) Learning. Through the art of BBQ, students are gaining hands-on experience, mastering culinary skills, and having a blast while doing it!

Our motto, "Come Eat Our Homework!" isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s a celebration of how BBQ competitions teach teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. From perfecting the perfect rib to grilling the juiciest steaks, our students are turning hard work into delicious results.

Join us this season as we cook up knowledge, one dish at a time, and show the world why BBQ education is the ultimate recipe for success!

Start a HSBBQ team today and join your State HSBBQ Association and the National High School BBQ Association so your school can say, COME EAT OUR HOMEWORK soon. Learn more at www.HSBBQ.org

Whether it’s mastering the art of BBQ, perfecting culinary techniques, or honing agricultural skills, welding the next building or pipeline we’re preparing students to step into the workforce with pride, passion, and purpose.

This Labor Day, let's encourage our students to honor and respect the value of hard work and the generations that have laid the ground work. Together, we can ignite dreams, build careers, and shape the future—one project at a time.
