Even though school meals are free for all students for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year, it is still very important to submit a free and reduced meal application if you think your family might qualify. The percentage of students approved is used to ensure continued funding to support students through Title I and E-Rate programs.  This supplemental funding is used to assist students with meeting educational goals.

Students approved for free and reduced meals may be eligible for discount fees on some college applications and academic tests like the ACT or SAT.  When available, approved students can receive Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer funds through DHHS.  If you have not applied yet, please go to www.lunchapplication.com and fill out an online application.  If you do not have access to the internet, you can call 828-627-1150 to request a paper copy.
