Food Services
We recognize that nutrition impacts classroom performance, so we have designed our menus and food preparation to provide excellent nutrition and teach health and wellness. The variety of our menus ensures that our students get all of the necessary nutrients and other substances associated with good health, clear thinking, and a balanced diet.
Nutritional Excellence
All of our school campuses participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). The NSLP is a federally assisted meal program that provides nutritionally balanced meals to qualifying students.
Free Breakfast & Lunch
At Smethport, all enrolled students will receive free school breakfasts and lunches for the 2025–2026 school year. This program, provided under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the USDA, requires no special documentation or financial information of our families. Please direct all questions to our business office at 814-887-5543.
We do not serve breakfast on a two-hour delay schedule.
