In the heart of San Antonio, Texas, a triad of educational institutions embarked on a pivotal journey of rejuvenation in 2012. Neff Middle School, John Jay High School, and Taft High School, pillars of the Northside Independent School District, all underwent extensive cafeteria and kitchen renovations. Each of these projects initiated with thorough demolition to pave the way for a complete transformation. State-of-the-art kitchen equipment replaced older models, ensuring efficiency and heightened food safety.
