Child Nutrition

Mission Statement 

The Mount Pleasant Child Nutrition Services Department operates all meal service for the Mount Pleasant Independent School District. Beginning with the Child Development Center and ending with the Mount Pleasant High School, the MPISD Child Nutrition Department provides approximately 2,100 breakfasts, 4,550 lunches and 1,500 snacks every day for Mount Pleasant school children.

It is the number one priority of the Mt. Pleasant ISD Food Service Department to ensure that all the students who patronize our cafeterias are met with positive, friendly and caring servers who offer nutritious, appetizing meals. It is also our goal to help the children of Mt. Pleasant ISD learn to make healthy food choices and better understand the concept of portion control through nutrition education.

The Mt. Pleasant ISD Food Service is operated under an agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture as over seen by the Texas Department of Agriculture to provide wholesome, nutritious meals to our students under the regulations of the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program and the Child Adult Care Food Program. It is the responsibility of the Mt. Pleasant ISD Food Service Department to comply with all United States Department of Agriculture rules and regulations in regard to these programs.
