  • The mission of the Center Grove Community School Corporation Food and Nutrition Services Department is to provide nutritionally balanced meals according to the USDA National School Breakfast and Lunch requirements at a reasonable cost to students, staff and guests. Our goal is to provide nutritious, child-focused meals that comply with the USDA Dietary Guidelines based on Nutrient Standard Menu Planning.
     
    The 2014-2015 school year brought several changes to Center Grove's menus with the passage of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.  As a part of the law passed by Congress, school lunch and breakfast meals are required to undergo some changes. For more details, click this link.
