Clermont Northeastern and Southern Hills Career Technical Center wanted to make you aware that during the last school year, children and families benefited from no-cost school meals for all students, made possible by special permission from the United States Department of Agriculture. Unfortunately, these permissions have expired.  Southern Hills Career Tech Center and the Ohio Department of Education cannot extend the permissions for no-cost meals for all students.

School meals will still be available to all students; however, lunch will not be free to all students. Full pay will be $3.25 and reduced lunch will be $.40. For this year we will be offering free breakfast for any students. We will need a current application on file for this year. Households may apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits by printing the application from our website, or you can apply online at  https://mealapp.lunchtimesoftware.net/

The School Payment Portal is an easy way to keep track of your child(ren) lunch balance. With setting up an online account gives you access to view cafeteria purchases and balance information. To set up an account you will need your student's id number. Deposits can be made on accounts and may also be used just to check balances.
