The District Kitchen is the heart of Helena Public Schools’ nutrition program, preparing meals for students from preschool through high school across the entire District.
As part of the 2025 High School Bond, a new, appropriately sized District Kitchen will provide the space and equipment needed to offer more fresh, scratch-made meals, safely store food, reduce waste, improve campus circulation, and make the most of available federal food commodities. Construction is underway on the north end of the Helena High School site, and by summer of 2027 meals will be prepared here and distributed across the District.
Though much of its work happens behind the scenes, the District Kitchen supports every classroom District-wide. When students have access to healthy, nourishing meals, they are better prepared to learn, grow, and thrive.
