Dunn School Kitchen

Good food is an important part of the Dunn community. We are located in one of the most fertile agricultural areas in the nation, and as a result we enjoy fresh, local cuisine that is diverse, environmentally sustainable and tastes great!

The Dunn Kitchen provides three meals a day. The kitchen, operated by Flik Independent School Dining, has a mantra: Eat. Learn. Live. Led by Chef Nicole Ornelaz, the staff provides wholesome nutritious meals, prepared fresh from local ingredients when possible. 

• Vegan and vegetarian offerings are always available, and menus reflect seasonal changes.
