Let’s make sure everyone stays informed (and maybe gets to sleep in on that next snow day 😉). #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs
Superintendent Glann spent the morning visiting our preschool classrooms at the Meridian Early Childhood Center and let’s just say our littlest Mustangs wasted no time inviting her into their classrooms. They even offered a little “style guidance,” which she happily accepted. 😄✨
Visits like this remind us how important early childhood education truly is. These classrooms are filled with imagination, language development, early problem-solving, and the social skills that set the stage for future success. Every day, our preschoolers are learning through play, and thriving because of it.
A huge thank-you to our amazing Meridian Early Childhood Center teachers for creating joyful, engaging, and nurturing spaces for our youngest learners. We are so proud of the strong start they’re giving every Mustang. 💙

❄️ Well… every Mustang in Meridian saw that snowstorm roll in and thought,
“Surely this is it. Surely THIS is my snow day moment.”
Mother Nature said, “Here’s 6 inches of snow,” and the Mustang spirit replied,
“Nice try… see you Monday!” 😄
So yes , Thanksgiving break is over, alarms are officially back on, and we cannot wait to welcome our Mustangs bright and early tomorrow!
Bundle up, grab those gloves you swear you didn’t lose in the hallway somewhere, and bring your very best post-Turkey-Day energy.
We’ll handle the heat, the smiles, and maybe even a sprinkle of hot-cocoa vibes. ☕️😉
Drive safe, and we will see you tomorrow, Mustang Nation! 💙🐴❄️
We are thankful for:
Our passionate teachers and staff who go above and beyond each day to help every learner thrive.
Our curious, inspiring students who bring energy, ideas, and spirit to every classroom and hallway.
Our families and community partners whose support, collaboration, and volunteerism make it possible to reach higher together.
Our safe, caring, and inclusive environment — one where all Mustangs are encouraged to be resilient and fearless learners.
The opportunities for growth, innovation, and connection that we continue to embrace through programs and initiatives across our district.
Wishing each of you a joyful, restful, and beautiful Thanksgiving holiday. We hope it’s filled with laughter, gratitude, and the warmth of community.
From our Mustang family to yours: Thank you – and have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁 #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs #MustangsTHRIVE

🇺🇸 Thank You, Veterans! 🇺🇸
Today, our MJHS students and staff came together to honor the men and women who have served our country. Our Veterans Day Assembly was a meaningful time to express our gratitude and reflect on the importance of service, sacrifice, and putting the needs of others before our own.
We are deeply thankful to the veterans who joined us and to all who have worn the uniform in service to our nation. Your courage and commitment inspire our students to lead with kindness, integrity, and purpose. ❤️🤍💙

The brand-new furniture has completely transformed the space, giving it a bright, modern, and welcoming feel. Our students are loving it — a few even said it feels like they’re “eating at a restaurant”! 🍽️💬
Even better, this upgrade was made possible through our Food Service Fund, which uses meal-claim revenue to reinvest directly into student spaces. 💙
We’re excited to celebrate this fresh new look and the positive energy it brings to our Mustangs every day. Go Mustangs! 🐴💫
