✨ Feel Good Friday! ✨

Students at Foy H Moody High School and W.B. Ray High School were raving about their new cafeteria tables and the fresh, more welcoming environment they've created!

Our teams worked diligently yesterday afternoon to remove the old tables and get the new ones in place so students could experience the upgraded cafeteria when they came in for lunch today.

And we absolutely loved seeing the looks on their faces as they walked in and saw the new tables! 🥰

It may seem like a simple change, but creating a space where students feel comfortable and excited to enjoy their meals makes a big difference. A huge thank-you to our teams for making it happen! 👏

🍗🧀 Taste Testing = SUCCESS! 🎉

We recently visited Solomon Coles High School & Harold T. Branch Academy for Career and Technical Education to let our students be the taste-testers for some NEW potential lunch menu items! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

On the menu?
🍗 Garlic Parmesan Wings
🧀🍝 Cheesy Chicken Pasta

And the verdict is in… BOTH WERE A HIT! 🙌🎉

We love giving our students a voice in what makes it onto their lunch menus, and their feedback helps us bring more variety and exciting choices to the cafeteria!

We’re looking forward to adding these student-approved favorites to the menu! 💙🍎

Corpus Christi ISD continues Community Eligibility Program for 2026-2027 school year

Corpus Christi ISD is pleased to announce that it will continue providing free breakfast and lunch to all students for the upcoming school year. Schools qualifying to operate the Community Eligibility Provision provide breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students at no charge.

“We are pleased to continue offering free breakfast and lunch to all CCISD students,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “This program helps ensure every student starts the school day ready to learn and succeed.”

The free meals program is made possible through the Texas Department of Agriculture via the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

CCISD has been providing free breakfast and lunch since 2018. During the 2025-2026 school year, CCISD served over 6 million free breakfast, lunch, Saturday and supper meals.

Parents and guardians do not need to complete a free or reduced-price meal application. However, they should still complete the district income survey as part of the online registration process. This information helps CCISD qualify for grants, funding and other programs that benefit students.

For lunch menus and more, visit ccisd.us or download the CCISD app. The 2026-2027 school year begins Tuesday, August 11.
