Columbus Tustin, Currie and Tustin High Cafeterias
Receive Award of Excellence in Food Safety

The Environmental Health Division of Orange County has given the Award of Excellence to the school cafeterias at Columbus Tustin and Currie middle schools, and Tustin High School. The award is given to establishments in recognition of consistently protecting the residents and visitors of Orange County through excellence in food safety and sanitation at the food establishment.

This is Tustin High’s third year in a row to win the award. Currie also won the award last year.

The Award of Excellence Program was implemented in 1999 in an effort to encourage food establishments to strive for excellence in food safety and sanitation practices, and to recognize those who succeed. Award recipients included those establishments meeting eligibility as determined by a review of the establishment’s inspection reports.

The inspection reports from Columbus Tustin, Currie and Tustin High cafeterias indicate that the food handling practices and overall sanitation at their facilities were outstanding during the past year, according to TUSD Nutrition Services Director Teresa Squibb.
