The Culinary Academy of South Dakota at Mitchell Technical College has a rich tradition in the upper Midwest. The program seamlessly integrates campus-based instruction with internship opportunities in other South Dakota communities, including major convention centers and hotels. Graduates benefit from excellent placement opportunities in a variety of industry roles.
Students master food preparation, sanitation, and service techniques in specialized kitchens. The program’s on-campus restaurant, The Oak Room, showcases student-designed menus and offers a fine dining experience for guests.
Students begin their culinary journey with two semesters on campus, earning a one-year Culinary Arts diploma that equips them to enter the food service industry. Those seeking to expand their skills may continue into a second year to earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Culinary Arts, which includes a summer internship between the first and second year. AAS graduates leave with advanced culinary expertise, earn the title of American Culinary Federation Certified Culinarian, and are prepared to take on leadership and management roles in the food service industry.
Program Mission
The Culinary Academy of South Dakota provides students with hands-on, experiential learning in order to attain a strong culinary foundation and the practical skills necessary for success in the foodservice industry.

In memory of Lisa Marie Jolliff, her family is honored to establish the Lisa Jolliff Memorial Scholarship for a student attending Mitchell Technical College.
Lisa was a caring, giving, loyal, reliable, genuine, and hardworking person. She believed in doing things the right way, keeping her word, helping others, and giving her best in everything she did. She was someone people could count on, and her kindness and genuine concern for others left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Lisa was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and dedicated member of her community. Her family wanted to find a meaningful way to honor her life and the qualities she represented. Through this scholarship, we hope to continue the spirit of giving that was such an important part of who Lisa was.
The Lisa Marie Jolliff Memorial Scholarship will provide financial assistance to a Mitchell Technical College student who demonstrates dedication, perseverance, a strong work ethic, and a desire to build a successful future through education.
Our family hopes this scholarship will be more than financial assistance. We hope it will be a way for Lisa’s qualities and values to continue to live on.
She was caring. She was giving. She was loyal. She was reliable. She was genuine. She was hardworking.
These are the qualities we remember and cherish, and they are the qualities we hope this scholarship will honor.
By helping a student pursue an education and work toward a future career, we can carry a little piece of Lisa’s legacy forward and allow her spirit of caring and giving to continue touching the lives of others.
