Free/Reduced Lunches—The Nutrition Center for Minneapolis Public Schools sends out applications at the beginning of August.
We encourage students to try items they may not be familiar with. We have eliminated high fructose corn syrups, trans fats and artificial colors and preservatives. We have two salad bars and use fresh, locally sourced produce.
Open Campus—Eligible students may go outside at lunch. Ninth grade students are not permitted to leave campus for lunch during their first semester at South but will be eligible if they meet the criteria set in the student handbook.
Garden to Cafeteria Is an MPS program providing fresh garden produce for school meals. At South High, our campus gardens produced a fall harvest of tomatoes, peppers and zucchini squash for the cafeteria.
