What you'll do:

What we're looking for:

  • A high school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience
  • Basic kitchen knowledge: cooking, serving, and keeping things clean and safe
  • Comfort with simple math for cashiering and measuring
  • A team player who's friendly with students, staff, and parents
  • Ability to lift 50 pounds and work around standard kitchen and cleaning products
  • Willingness to learn the computer systems we use (we'll train you)

Occasional catering events and extra hours may come up if you want them.

Locations and Hours:
Rogers Middle School 

  • 3 hours/day; approximately 10:45 am to 1:45 pm
  • 3.5 hours/day; approximately 10:15 am to 1:45 pm

Rogers Elementary School

  • 4.5 hours/day; approximately 9:30 am to 2:00 pm

Rogers High School
  • 7 hours/day; TEMPORARY Approx. 9/1/26 to 12/24/6; 6 am to 1:30 pm


Why you'll like it here:

School kitchen jobs come with schedules that actually work for real life. Weekends off. Holidays off. Summers off. And you'll be part of a school community that knows your name.
