Texas Cattle Company + Lecanto High School
For several years, the Texas Cattle Company has offered one-time employment to ProStart students at their catering events all 
over the state. The FRLAEF received the following from Suzanne Sheffield, ProStart teacher at Lecanto High School.
“We have been catering with Texas Cattle Company for many years. Pictured here is the group of Panther Café students that went with me last night and had on their new jackets with all the logos on it. We looked impressive to all. I was amazed by the thanks we received from the guests and members of the Citrus County Conservation group. We never earned them before because our jackets had nothing on them. You know the saying of when you dress up?”

Riley Koehler (going to JWU in two years)
Matthew Green (undecided at this time)

There are two ways to become a Dual Role Instructor/Proctor:
- Pass the INSTRUCTOR version of the ServSafe exam
OR
- If you took another version of the exam (English or Spanish), you have to wait 90 days after your exam, then you can apply for the Dual Role
