Local high school commemorates former teacher Blythewood High School students, faculty and staff will host a “Chef Day” this Friday to commemorate former teacher William Turner, who passed away on Feb. 1 after battling colon cancer for several years, The State reported. Turner founded Blythewood’s culinary program when the school opened its doors in 2005, and made it one of the top programs in the state and in the nation. He earned the nickname “The Chef” after leading the school to a top five finish at the State Culinary Competition five times and to a win at the state championship in 2010. Blythewood also earned a 14th-place finish nationally that same year. “Chef has made an undeniable difference in his students’ lives, and his dedication to this school and our community is something that we absolutely want to celebrate,” said Fletcher Spigner, Blythewood High School student activities director, when Turner retired in 2012 due to health reasons. “Chef teaches culinary skills to his students every day but what they learn is responsibility, dedication, hard work and character.”
