Meridian Public Schools

On Thursday, October 17th, Meridian hosted the Youth Impact Partnership Leadership Day, an initative with the Midland Area Community Foundation, in the MECHS Auditorium. The Midland Area Youth Impact Partnership’s mission is to promote the safety and wellbeing of all Midland County citizens by building empathy and kindness amongst youth, through awareness, education, and collaboration. Students collaborated on different topics, and planned their events for Kindness Week! Local Non-Profit organizations that service the youth in our area were present to showcase how they assist in our community. Thank you to all that attended! #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs #YouthImpactPartnership #MidlandAreaCommunityFoundation

Congratulations to the Mustang Marching Band on a stellar performance last night at Showcase! As John Denver says in the 1971 hit song "Take Me Home Country Roads" "Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River"…and as Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz, “There’s no place like home,” and when you’ve run away, the only way back is through COUNTRY ROADS. #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs #MustangMarchingBand #Showcase2024

Good afternoon Mustangs, The Midland County Department of Public Health has issued a press release regarding respiratory health considerations following the wildland fire in Sanford. Weare using the Air Quality Index (AQI) to guide our decisions about outdoor activities. Currently, Sanford is in the “good” range, therefore students will be going outside this afternoon for outdoor activities. We will continue to monitor the air quality on campus and utilize the AQI as a key tool in our decision-making process. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We will remain in contact with the Midland County Department of Public Health, Jerome Township Fire Department, and Midland County 911 to monitor the situation. We will provide updates as needed. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you, and have a great day! #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs
