Menus
Creating healthy bodies ready to learn
Students can't learn when they're hungry, and we're dedicated to offering healthy, delicious meals that prepare them for success in the classroom. We use locally grown produce, whole-wheat flour, and other healthy ingredients in our full-service kitchen and bakery at Eden Prairie High School.
Thanks to Minnesota’s Free School Meals Program, all in-person students can eat one breakfast and one lunch free of charge while at school – no application required! All meals include a fruit or vegetable and milk.
