Rachael Ray Shines on Frankford

Breaking news from the Inquirer:

Frankford High School got a surprise this morning when celebrity chef Rachael Ray announced an extreme make-over of the school’s culinary classroom to honor teacher Wilma Stephenson, whose take-no-prisoners style was the focus of the 2009 documentary, Pressure Cooker.

Ray announced the surprise renovation via video and the work is  to be completed by the time students return from spring break Monday. The Rachael Ray Show, which airs locally at 10 a.m. on 6-ABC, is providing state-of-the-art equipment and school district staff will work around the clock to get the job done.

Congratulations to Wilma Stephenson on a job well done.  Read the rest of the story here.

The last time they stopped by was for a piece on Frankford’s Main Street.
