Earlier this week, MECHS students were able to hear from a panel of recent graduates to share insight and advice on what post-secondary life is like. Thanks Dana, Jack, Jenna, Lexi, Lauren, and James for sharing your experiences. We love to hear you share your success stories!
Good Evening Mustangs,
The FCC has created a national broadband map that displays where internet services are—and are not—available across the United States, as reported by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the FCC’s ongoing Broadband Data Collection. This map (https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov) will be used to help determine future broadband expansion efforts and billions in grant funding to close the digital divide. Please consider checking the accuracy at your home address, as well as neighbors, family, friends, etc. If you find any inaccuracies, you can submit a location challenge through the website before the January 13, 2023 deadline.
Thank you

Good Evening Mustangs,
The District has contracted with the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) to facilitate a search for the new superintendent at Meridian Public Schools. The District is gathering input through an on-line anonymous survey that will be conducted from December 19 through January 10. Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MPS_Supt
This information will be used to help develop criteria that our district feels we should have in a new superintendent. If there are questions regarding the survey, they can be directed to Dave Moore, MASB Consultant @ davemoore6282@gmail.com
