"When you serve that many students, there is no way that one line is just going to do it," Lopez told KSAT. "I loved it and the kids had fun, (and) one of the kids said, 'Hey, I know you,' and I said, 'Yes, I'm the principal.'"

According to Lopez more than 400 students are served meals at the school .
“(The students) kept saying, ‘But, you’re the principal.’ And I kept saying, ‘It doesn’t matter what your job title is, if someone needs help, then you do it,’” Lopez said.
By lunch time, the cafeteria was fully staffed, but the photo posted of Lopez serving students made a lasting impression.
"Not surprising," one reply read. "This principal is one of the best."
