Child Nutrition

Our Child Nutrition department supports the educational process by providing nutritious meals to students. Our goal is to provide scholars with a wide assortment of foods that are both appealing and healthy. We base the meals, foods, and beverages we serve on the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Free Lunch for All Scholars

No child should ever go hungry. At Rocky Mount Prep, we provide meals to every scholar, every day, at no cost.
