You can’t graduate with a negative balance in your lunch account. On May 26th at commencement, in your fancy, bound diploma holder, you will receive a bill. Penn High School will not hand off your diploma until you are out of lunch debt. Be sure to pay it off as soon as possible.

Or, if you have money sitting in your lunch account that you will not use, you need to have a parent call and request a refund or a transfer to a sibling’s account.

Best of luck, class of 2017.
