Kitchen of the Month
The High School Team
April Kitchen of the Month goes to the staff at the High School with Jay Craddock as the Kitchen Manager and Shirley Johnson as Assistant Kitchen Manager. This site is the busiest with us feeding around 900-1,000 students for lunch. Our staff works very hard to feed this many students while still serving delicious food and having amazing customer service as they interact with the students. The High School recently opened the Deli bar and the students have loved it! The High School staff acts as a great team that work tirelessly to feed the students and bring a smile to their faces.
