In the early months of 2026, Townsend Harris High School has recently made significant changes to its cafeteria layout and lunch menu. With the addition of a new grab-and-go lunch system, students now have the opportunity to choose from a variety of options without having to wait in line. Additionally, new seating will provided for students as the school continues to gradually implement these changes. Students and staff were asked to share thoughts on the new changes to the lunch menu. Watch the video at the link above or on The Classic’s YouTube channel.
