About Us

  • The Houston Independent School District (HISD) Nutrition Services Department is dedicated to nourishing the future by providing high-quality, nutritious meals to students across the district. As the largest public school system in Texas and the eighth-largest in the United States, HISD Nutrition Services is a vital part of supporting students' health and academic success.

    Each school day, we proudly serve over 170,000 meals, ensuring students have the energy and focus needed to thrive in the classroom. Our operations are governed by the strict guidelines and policies of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), which oversee the National School Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, and Child and Adult Care Feeding programs. We are committed to meeting these standards to ensure that every meal we provide is not only nutritious but also complies with all state and federal requirements.

    At HISD Nutrition Services, our mission is simple: to serve "Good Food."

    What is Good Food?

    Good food is more than just a meal; it's an experience. It's simple, wholesome, and accessible to all. It's flavorful, colorful, fresh, and diverse, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of our community. Good food is educational, teaching students about nutrition and the benefits of eating well. It’s made with seasonal ingredients, displayed with care, and served with love.

    Good food goes beyond the plate. It makes consumers smile, supports academic achievement, and is a key component of a student's overall well-being. We believe that good food should be enjoyed by every student, every day, in every school.
