Clayton County Public Schools’ Department of Student Services served more than 1,200 families through four school-based grocery markets in June 2026. Through these efforts, the District supported more than 2,300 children and distributed 55,000 pounds of food, equivalent to approximately 45,650 meals. Families received fresh produce, dairy products, frozen foods, grains, beverages, canned goods, and other essential grocery items.

“We are so grateful for the opportunity to receive fresh food. Having access to healthy food will benefit our entire family.” — CCPS Parent

The Summer Markets were made possible through partnerships with Helping Hands Ending Hunger, Kroger, Community Teen Coalition, dedicated volunteers, and CCPS staff.

Through this initiative, CCPS continues to support student wellness, strengthen families, and connect our community with essential resources.

CCPS will continue offering school-based grocery markets to families during the 2026–2027 school year at four locations:

• Eddie White Academy

• Forest Park Middle School

• Jonesboro Middle School

• North Clayton High School

Herff Jones will be visiting to provide an important presentation for our seniors regarding cap and gown orders and for juniors who are interested in purchasing class rings.

Seniors: Please make sure you pay close attention to the payment and ordering deadlines. The cost of your cap and gown will increase if you do not make your required deposit by January. Remember, all payments for cap and gowns must be made directly to Herff Jones.

Herff Jones will be on campus on the dates listed below during ALL lunch periods. Please make plans to stop by during your assigned lunch to place your order or ask any questions.

Thank you, and congratulations to our seniors as you prepare for graduation!
