Conneaut Area City Schools Food Service

Conneaut Area City Schools proudly offer a variety of healthy meal options each day to all students through the USDA National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. Our Food Service Department consists of 22 dedicated team members who work hard to ensure student meals are prepared and served with safety, sanitation, and nutrition as top priorities.
