Welcome! The Highland Food Service Department is dedicated to providing students with a nutritional lunch and is a member of the National School Lunch Program. The Menu Lunch follows the Recommended Dietary Allowance guidelines to provide less than 30% total fat and less than 10% saturated fat, and less than 1500 mg of sodium. Additionally, french fries and all potato products are baked and not deep-fried.

Pre-paying a lunch is available through the PaySchools On-Line link located to the left of this page and also by sending check or cash with your child to school with your child’s name and grade on the outside of the envelope.

Charging a lunch is not permitted. In an emergency at the Elementary level, should a student forget their lunch money, the daily lunch will be provided and their account will be noted as a negative. If the student forgets money again the next day, the daily lunch will again be provided and the account is in the negative two lunches. On the third day should the student forget again, the student will receive two peanut butter and jelly wafer sandwiches, the fruit of the day, and the vegetable of the day. The negative balance has to be repaid.
