With the implementation of the Universal Breakfast program at Splendora High school, Splendora Independent school District now offers a free breakfast for all students.

The Universal Breakfast program allows all students to have breakfast each morning free of charge to the students.   The program was implemented two years ago on our elementary campuses.  The following year the program spread to the Junior High School, and, with the implementation of the program at the High School, a free breakfast is available to all SISD students. 

According to the Food Research and Action Center, 54.7% of the students in Texas qualify for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program.  The Center states that many students do not participate in the breakfast program when it is not free for everyone because of the stigma of being labeled poor. Splendora ISD has worked to remove this stigma by offering a good nutritional breakfast for all students keeping in mind that hungry students can’t learn.

Splendora ISD has experienced much academic success over the past several years resulting in all but one of our campuses being named either Recognized or Exemplary by the Texas Education Agency.  We see a direct correlation between our students' basic needs being met and high test scores  no one learns well on an empty stomach.
