High School football season and home sporting events are an exciting time of year.

Together, we can continue to make each and every day a great day to be a Panther!

Students with a negative food account balance of $5.00 or more cannot add the additional a la carte items from the alternative food lines to their meals. The daily lunch menu meal will still be available for these students.

Please make checks payable to “Central York School District.” Checks may be given to the cashiers in the cafeteria for deposit into the student’s food services account.
