Raising Boys

Lunch

Cathedral School offers a daily hot lunch program at no extra cost to families. Our students have a choice of a daily hot entree and sides, two different types of homemade soups, and a fresh salad bar, and they eat together either in our Gresham Hall lunch room or outside on the Cathedral's plaza.

Prepared in our on-campus kitchen by our longtime partners at Acre Gourmet and served by our wonderful parent volunteers, our lunches are healthy, varied, organic, sustainable, and most importantly, delicious!
