Food & Nutrition

Desert Heights utilizes L & M Catering as the breakfast and lunch caterer for all grade levels.

L & M catering is a locally owned and operated business located in Phoenix, Arizona. They work with several schools in the valley and bring numerous years of experience. Their kitchen is located near both campuses, so your meals are served hot and fresh daily. We are excited to work with them this year and we hope to exceed yours and your students’ expectations.


The cost of lunch is $3.45 or $0.40, if your student qualifies for the reduced rate. The cost for breakfast is $2.20 or $.30, if your student qualifies for the reduced rate. Meals must be preordered for students to receive lunch or breakfast. If a lunch or breakfast is not preordered, a lunch will need to be packed. Menus are subject to change.
