This program has changed from last school year.  Due to improved economic conditions, CEP is no longer a viable option for GHS.  Sumner County will continue to offer a healthy breakfast and lunch to students during the school day but will return to the previous system of collecting household applications for households that wish to apply for free and reduced priced meals. Here is the application to apply for free and reduced breakfast and lunch.
