Food Services
At LP, students don’t just get the nutritious meals they need to succeed. They also get food prepared on site by our team of food service professionals. There are numerous healthy options available for breakfast and lunch, including a salad bar, made-to-order sandwiches, and many special and holiday-themed meals.
Breakfast is free for LP students during the 2024-25 school year. The basic lunch cost is $3.
Under the guidance of Food Service Director Phil Balestrieri, LP also provides a complete free and reduced-price program for our students and families. For more information on these services, please review the information below.
