The goal of Petal School District's Child Nutrition Program is to provide students, teachers and staff nutritious meals at a reasonable price and to provide unparalleled service to the students and patrons.

The Child Nutrition program participates in the National School Lunch Program, therefore, any student whose family qualifies according to the criteria as set forth by the national program may be eligible for free or reduced meals. Applications for Free or Reduced Meals may be obtained at the Child Nutrition Office located at 613 South Main Street (across from Petal Harvey Baptist Church) or from the cafeteria manager at the school where the student attends. A new application must be completed each school year. If you have any questions, please call the Child Nutrition Office at 601-545-3020

All meals meet or exceed the nutritional requirements as prescribed by the Mississippi State Child Nutrition Department and the National School Lunch Program.
