Friday Luncheons
On several Fridays each month, our Clifton Culinary Arts program hosts a luncheon from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm with both dine-in and to-go options for $10 per meal. Students prepare and serve the meal (including a main dish, sides, dessert, and drinks), decorate our Clifton Cafe, check in guests, accept payment, and bus tables for dine-in service.
The menu is sent out in advance via e-mail, our website calendar, and social media with RSVPs due by Tuesday at 5:00pm the week of the luncheon. This allows time for our students and staff to shop for ingredients.
Hosting an Event or Meeting at Clifton
Members of the Austin ISD community are welcome to host events or meetings in our Clifton Cafeteria or Cafe. Our spaces are generally available between 7:30am and 5:30pm on weekdays. Reservations must be made through the district's Facilitron system.

Clifton Tours
Clifton is happy to showcase the work of our students and programs to members of the educational community (both within and outside of Austin ISD) and prospective business partners.
To schedule a tour, please call our Clifton Main Line at (512) 414-3614 or email sachi.edson@austinisd.org
Prospective students and families should communicate with their guidance counselor, grade-level administrator, or other school staff about their interest in Clifton. Students and families are also welcome to contact our campus directly to schedule a tour, however, we try to schedule group tours through schools before individual student/family tours.
