The School Nutrition staff at Colquitt County High School will be featured in a series of training videos geared toward school nutrition professionals.

MOULTRIE, Ga. — Colquitt County High School was proud to host the School Nutrition Program of the Georgia Department of Education and Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) as a site location for filming a series of training videos geared towards school nutrition professionals.  

In the effort to continually improve for the benefit of the Georgia students and the community at large, the Georgia School Nutrition Program leads the nation in innovation and professionalism in all areas of school nutrition, according to a press release from the Colquitt County School System.  

Colquitt County High School was chosen from among other top performing schools in the state to play host to this effort. Film crews captured the school nutrition staff in action as well as students enjoying delicious and nutritious meals in the cafeteria. A few fortunate students actually got the opportunity to show their acting skills as they helped GPB reenact several scenarios of student interaction with faculty and staff.

Ervin Watson, representing the state Department of Education as the lead on this project, said, “In addition to Colquitt County High School having a beautiful, new building, the café staff and school administration went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. After the filming was done, the GPB crew paid several compliments to the CCHS students and staff stating, ‘They are among the best they’ve had the pleasure to work with.’ We are ecstatic about the footage we were able to capture. Mrs. Monika W. Griner, School Nutrition director and the entire Colquitt County School Nutrition team should be proud of their contribution to this critical component to the future success of school nutrition in Georgia.”
