🇺🇸 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. ❤️🤍💙

Veterans Day 2025
Big news at Meridian Junior High School… our cafeteria just got a major glow-up! ✨🎉

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! 🐴💫

Mr. Henderson's MJHS science classes would like to send a HUGE thank you to Stella's Springtails for their extremely generous donation of springtails, isopods and desert darkling beetles. The value of the donation is well over $250 and these creepy crawlies will help students to learn biology, soil health, and compassion for living things.
