Child Nutrition Program
The goal of the Child Nutrition Department is to provide affordable and nutritious meals to students in our school system. The 91HUB provides healthy and appetizing school meals based on the USDA’s nutrition guidelines so that students are engaged and ready to learn in school. All meals include a variety of fresh fruit and vegetable choices, and a variety of non-fat or low-fat milk.
For more information, please feel free to contact Dr. Jennifer Pritchett at 256-259-9511; pritchettj@jacksonk12.org.

Wellness Committee Invitation:
The 91HUB is seeking community members and parents to serve on the district wellness policy committee. We recognize that healthy students are better prepared to learn and succeed in school.
The wellness committee will focus on developing and advancing the district wellness policy in order to create a healthier school environment focused on improving health and wellness outcomes for school children and staff.
If you or someone you know is interested please contact Jennifer Pritchett, CNP Director at 256-259-9511; pritchettj@jacksonk12.org for additional information and to indicate your interest in serving on the committee.
School Breakfast:
Breakfast is offered daily in all 91HUB County School Cafeterias. We provide hot and cold breakfast options as well as grab n go bags.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for children, as it provides the necessary energy for a day of learning and achievement. Eating a nutritious breakfast at school can give children an extra edge. Research has shown many benefits of school breakfast, including:
- Academic achievement- students who eat school breakfast have greater gains in standardized test scores and show improvements in math, reading, and vocabulary.
- Improved Behavior- students who participate in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) are late or absent from school less often.
