Food and Dining Services

Feeding and Fueling Learning

Hamilton City Schools' Food Services Department is made up of a dedicated team of food and nutrition professionals focused on our students' health and their ability to learn. We promise to pour our passion, dedication, knowledge, and enthusiasm into serving each student delicious and nutritious meals every school day. We believe that proper nutrition during students' school age years can reinforce good eating habits and help pave the way for a lifetime of success and well-being.

Meals and beverages served at schools meet state and federal requirements and are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with a variety of delicious and nutritious breakfast and lunch options FREE of charge to help meet their daily health and nutrition needs. We also offer affordable a la carte items at our secondary schools.

The Hamilton City School District’s School Meal Program is a contracted service with Chartwells K-12.

Nutrition, Ingredient, and Allergy Information

You can access nutrition, ingredient and allergy information through our interactive menus that are identified with the icon next to them. Each menu item includes a picture and nutrition, ingredient and allergy information. Does your student have a food allergy? Use the allergen filters icon at the top of the page and choose from the list of allergies and any food containing that allergen will be crossed out. You can choose more than one allergen at a time. HCSD Breakfast and Lunch Menus can be accessed through the HCSD Nutrislice Menu Application.

For children with life-threatening food allergies, parents should also complete the Special Dietary Needs Form and/or call child nutrition at 513-896-3623.
