Our meals support student achievement!  From breakfast to lunch to dinner - and more - our meals feature delicious proteins, whole grains, abundant fruits and vegetables, and nutrition-packed milk.  The research is clear – the better we eat, and the better we take care of ourselves, the better we perform across a broad range of activities, including academics. 

Our incredible Food & Child Nutrition Services staff are the key to our success.  From a licensed dietitian to skilled delivery drivers to our ServSafe certified kitchen supervisors, our Super Crew works to deliver their best for Victoria ISD students.  Across more than 22 school kitchens, and at our central warehouse facility, our skilled team members show their love for students by preparing delicious and healthy meals which feature many Texas-grown or produced items, including fresh produce from farms across Texas.  In other words, eating school meals frequently means eating local.  Speaking of local, many of our employees are themselves Victoria ISD graduates, and many have children or grandchildren in our schools.
