 Ever thought about having a enjoyable lunch instead of just eating at the school? At Port Huron Northern, our lunch schedule is the same every week, and students should have the opportunity to leave school to go get lunch wherever they want.

   Open campus lunch has been a controversial subject for the Port Huron Area School District. Students have been asking why we don’t have an open campus so we can leave school to go get lunch and come back to finish the rest of the day.

   It also gives students the freedom to go get their lunch of choice instead of eating the typical lunch food at the school that most people loathe.

    There are many different options in the Fort Gratiot/Port Huron area for lunch; Ted’s Coney Island, Buffalo Wild Wings, McDonald’s, Qdoba, Red Pepper for Taco Tuesdays. Those are just a handful of popular restaurants students at Port Huron Northern prefer to go to.

   “On Tuesdays, I would like to have open campus lunch so I could go to Red Pepper with a few of my friends to enjoy their $.50 tacos, instead of waiting after school to go,” said Dane Wirtz (‘16).

   Giving students the freedom to go and eat at whatever place they desire creates a little more expression from the students, they can choose what they want to eat at any restaurant.

   They can even decide to go home to fix something up quick.

  “I would like to head home sometimes to eat at home, instead of spending money on food,” said Michael Triebwasser (‘16).

   “The only thing I like from the school is the chicken bowl. It is a dupe for the Kentucky Fried Chicken famous bowl,” said Jenna Koppinger (‘17).

   There are of course a lot of students who enjoy the cafeteria food, but eating what is desired is better.
