Historical/Biographical Sketch: Born in 1925 in Franklin, Tennessee, Ms. Pratt attended business school in Chattanooga and later the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga and the UT campus in Knoxville, where she graduated in 1957. In 1960 she completed a master’s degree in Institution Management from UT Knoxville.

Ms. Pratt began her career in School Food Service in Clarksville, Tennessee, in 1957, as a supervisor in the city school system overseeing and supervising the lunchroom personnel. She was in charge of seven schools in the city system, all of which were on the School Lunch Program. She planned a central menu for the seven schools, supervised purchasing, and handled personnel employment, supervision, and training.

In June 1960, Ms. Pratt went to work for the USDA Regional Office in Atlanta as a home economist. At the USDA she worked with school personnel responsible for School Lunch and School Breakfast programs in the nine individual states in the southeast region at that time. She developed and revised the guides available from the USDA, including Menu Planning Guide, Food Buying Guides, and Type A Menus. Ms. Pratt also assisted in evaluating state agencies to insure they complied with federal requirements and provided guidance and training for their staff. In 1961, she worked with the Southeast Area Evaluation Project Committee, which produced Evaluation of School Lunch Training- A Report. Ms. Pratt coauthored What’s for Lunch with Louise Sublette and Lucille Bishop. In 1994 she retired after serving as home economist for thirty-four years at the USDA Regional Office in Atlanta. Ms. Pratt died at the age of 88 on August 18, 2014. See also Eleanor Pratt Oral History Interview
