Hello Mustangs! As the start of the school year approaches, we have news to share with you from our Food Service Department. Please see the information below.
With the end of the 2021-2022 school year, also brought the end of the free meals for all students. Congress did not renew this program, meaning we are returning to the free and reduced lunch program. All students will still get a free breakfast, but not lunches. We are asking all families to fill out a free and reduced lunch application whether you think you qualify or not. The portal for doing all things food service is now https://meridian.familyportal.cloud. Parents will register for an account and be able to fill out the free/reduced application, see what students are purchasing for lunch, add funds to lunch accounts (no longer on e-funds) and more. Any questions can be sent to the food service department at foodservice@merps.org or 989-687-3212. Thank you. #ReachHigher

The Meridian Band worked BRIGHT and early this morning…now they get to enjoy some culture building opportunities!
Meridian Band is currently at Disneyworld! Today, they had the opportunity during the studio clinic to work with a Disney recording artist. During this time, they recorded the soundtrack to Frozen and put it underneath the opening credits of the real movie. By making learning relevant, students see a purpose for mastering skills and concepts.#reachhigher
Responsibility is a key hallmarks of our culture at Meridian Early College High School, where students and teachers alike share how they can positively impact our community.
