MECHS 11th graders had the opportunity to explore life situations based on their personal career plan. In partnership with Midland County ESA, they planned budgets and problem-solved real life financial situations. Our graduates are more prepared to take that critical step forward on their journey to an independent life and rewarding career.
On Saturday, February 12th, members of the Meridian Band program performed at the MSBOA District Solo & Ensemble Festival in St. Johns. Earning the highest honors possible (I Rating) were: MacKenzie Zdrojewski, Thea Doud, Kayla Funk, Aidan McLaughlin, Cassidy Baslock, Jack Piper, Owen Wright, Hannah Capitano, Sophia Butkiewicz, Mason Redman, Josh Smith, Jade Perry, Julie Teachworth, and Kiley Braman.
These 14 students have now earned an invitation to perform at the State Solo & Ensemble Festival in March.
