HISD Food Services Nutrition Manager Amanda Oceguera (L) and Education Director of Communications & Marketing Jessica Douglas (R) accept their awards from Chief Administrator of Texas Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Programs Angela Olige (center).
HISD’s Food Services department was recently awarded the Golden Grapefruit Award by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
The department received the award due to its efforts to provide students with local products, its commitment to teaching children about locally sourced foods, and by serving an average of three or more Texas products during National School Lunch Week.
The department received the award during the final general session of the Texas Association for School Nutrition’s annual seminar.
