CLANCY LARMOUR WRITTEN BY LEA HART PHOTOGRAPHED BY JONATHAN FREDIN
ON THE SURFACE, Clancy Larmour might look like a typically successful high school graduate. He graduated in the top 10 percent of his class at Cary High School this spring; he’s an Eagle Scout; and he’s a speech and debate competition winner. Dig a little deeper though, and it really gets interesting. Larmour is fascinated by mushrooms. He makes Japanese street food to kick back and relax. And he was part of Cary High’s Culinary Arts competition team. He found these passions at Cary High, and gives credit to the school and its Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. “The breadth of things you can do at Cary High was probably most impactful for me,” he said. “You can experiment with what you like and don’t like. “I hit it on the first try – I got involved with (agriculture) and discovered my love of mushrooms. But there’s always another avenue to go down, if you don’t find the right thing at first.” So why mushrooms? Larmour says they’re everywhere and yet there’s mystery to them, noting there’s still a lot to learn about how they grow. continued on page 28
