Mission Statement

Our mission is to nourish the future by providing compassionate and dedicated service, ensuring students have the best nutrition to thrive and succeed.

Our Program

 
School Lunch

Johnson City Schools School Nutrition Department operates in all eleven schools serving breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks. Our Meals Program has been recognized as a Program of Excellence by the School Nutrition Association. This recognition is based on exceptional administration and program accountability, nutritional integrity in menu planning, production, and procurement, and safety and sanitation.

Additionally, six schools have been recognized as Healthier US School Challenge Award recipients for exceptional programming in nutrition and physical activity. In 1993, Keystone School (the precursor to Mountain View Elementary School) received a USDA Best Practice Award for one of the first Universal Breakfast Programs in the Southeast.

In 1995, Woodland Elementary School received recognition as the Tennessee School Boards Association Design of the Year. The design was also featured in 1995, in the School Nutrition Annual Conference Architectural Design Display in Anaheim, CA. This plan has served as a master plan to all Johnson City Schools' kitchens.
