"A lot of kids, in the inner city, they don't have anything like this so bringing it to a predominately black school is big," said student Trueman McGee.
"We just want to build strong men that can go out into our community and be extremely productive. How do you stop brain drain, how do you stop all the factors that are impacting our men in our city and this is one way to do it?" asked Assistant Principal Shawn Sprewer.
Staff members say the kids don't only cook for their school — they also cater out to different events in the area.
