PS 302 Emerson School of Hospitality is located at 70 Chippewa Street Buffalo, NY. The Emerson School of Hospitality is a unique high school learning environment that blends academics, culinary arts, and food industry career training. The Culinary Arts Program at Emerson Vocational High School has been in existence for over 50 years. Emerson School of Hospitality students are challenged by a rigorous curriculum that fosters both critical and creative thinking. Education at this school starts at grade level 8 and continues through the 12th in Erie County, of New York State.

Emerson's student population has increased steadily since the '60s, and currently has approximately 400 students enrolled in the program. In its new, state-of-the-art Chippewa Street facility, the Emerson School of Hospitality will provide students with the hands-on experience they need to meet the employment challenges of the next century.

The project has been developed as continuous, self-sustaining educational program through resources from the Buffalo Board of Education and the New York State Education Department, with additional revenues derived from the sale of food products and services to the public. The Margaret L. Wendt Foundation has provided a $78,000 grant for two distance learning laboratories.
