| FLHS 2022, a retro look |
Many at Fort Lauderdale High and other Broward County schools during the 1960s and 70s turned up their noses at cafeteria food. So, students often lunched at nearby burger joints. Menus have changed since then. Below are menu items from 1970 and 1974 followed by choices offered in 2022.

Prices: As far back as I can remember, lunches were 35
cents at FLHS (different prices at some schools). Today, lunches for FLHS high school run $2.50.
Broward County Schools now provides breakfasts with a choice of eggs, sausage, pancakes, waffles and cereals. Menus for those with allergies or other special needs are available in several languages. For all current choices for all meals, see: https://www.browardschools.com/me . Schools are presented at different tiles at this site. For the Fort Lauderdale High School menu, see: https://schools.mealviewer.com/school/FortLauderdaleHigh. Would high school students still scorn school lunches or prefer to dine off campus?
