Who has the smarts to plan nutritious meals, the chops to manage perishable inventory and the patience to slice hundreds of oranges in a single day? Who stays vigilant about food safety while feeding breakfast and lunch to hundreds of children — and then gets up to do it all again tomorrow?

last year, we asked schools to nominate their school lunch hero. Congratulations to last year’s five winners!
