Seven students. Four educators. One alumnus, and one family with a story that’ll take you higher and tug at your heartstrings — that’s the tapestry of tales we’ve woven for you in this edition. These are not just stories; they are testimonies of dedication, resilience, and the very spirit of inspiration that makes Meridian so special.

​

Our students, as always, are beacons of hope and ambition. Their stories are rich with dreams in the making, reminding us of the boundless potential within our halls. The educators? Their tales offer more than lessons in academia. They’re a masterclass in passion and perseverance. Our featured alumnus showcases the lasting impact of a Meridian foundation fueled by boundless aspiration, while the journey of one family, rooted in our very history, promises inspiration in its purest form.

 

Let’s never forget, however, that the tale of Meridian isn’t exclusive to our campus. It resonates in every corner of our community - from the laughter of students to the wisdom of our retirees, and from the ambitions of our recent graduates to the generational echoes of our courageous Bobcat pioneers. We are a tapestry of different threads, all equally vital, all shimmering with potential. Whether you’re an educator, a student, an alum, or a parent, you have a story, and in that story lies the power to inspire and change the world.

 

As the daylight grows shorter and we delve further into this school year, remember: each of you is a storyteller, and every day is a page waiting to be written. Let’s pen a tale of unity, achievement, and unwavering Meridian spirit. Serving as your Superintendent is, for me, not just a job; it’s an honor, a journey, and every day, a new story.

 

Here’s to the narratives we’ll share, the milestones we’ll celebrate, and the legacy we continue to build. #bobcatsrising
