Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller recognizes school nutrition professionals on School Lunch Hero Day

Texas – Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has called on all Texans to join him in recognizing school nutrition professionals on School Lunch Hero Day, which will be observed on May 2, 2025.

Miller emphasized the crucial role these professionals play in the daily lives of students, ensuring they receive nutritious meals to fuel their academic success.

In addition to serving meals with a smile, Texas school nutrition professionals are responsible for a variety of tasks, including procurement, menu planning, compliance with regulations, food safety, and more.

These dedicated individuals work in partnership with the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to serve millions of healthy and balanced meals to students every school day across the state.

“I am proud to support the nutrition professional heroes ensuring students can have two nutritious meals a day at more than 8,000 Texas schools,” Commissioner Miller said.

“They keep kids ready for academic success each day while teaching them healthy habits that can last a lifetime. I sincerely thank them for their vital contributions to the health and well-being of the Lone Star State’s future.”

School Lunch Hero Day is celebrated on the first Friday of May each year to honor the tireless work of school nutrition teams in supporting academic success.

The day provides an opportunity for students, parents, school staff, and the broader community to express gratitude to the professionals managing the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.
