Before the 2019-2020 school year ended, HCS Superintendent Dr. Kathy Murphy shared an update on the district’s student feeding program during an April 14 Board of Education meeting.

Murphy said 7,635 meals had been served since the week of March 16, the same week during which Gov. Kay Ivey announced all K-12 schools in the state would close because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
