Congratulations to the Mustang Marching Band on a stellar performance last night at Showcase! As John Denver says in the 1971 hit song "Take Me Home Country Roads" "Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River"…and as Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz, “There’s no place like home,” and when you’ve run away, the only way back is through COUNTRY ROADS. #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs #MustangMarchingBand #Showcase2024

Dear Families, Staff, and Community Members,
In response to survey feedback from our stakeholders, Meridian Public Schools is streamlining our communication channels by consolidating all social media activity to a single page. Starting Monday, September 30th, 2024, please join us at our unified page, Meridian Public Schools (@MeridianPS), for clear, consistent updates for families, students, staff, and community members. However, the Meridian Early Childhood Center page will remain available for families to view for childcare purposes.
As part of this change, we will be deactivating the current pages for Meridian Elementary School, Meridian Junior High School, and Meridian Early College High School. To stay connected, follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MeridianPS and Instagram at www.instagram.com/MeridianPS.

Dear Meridian Public Schools Community,
On behalf of the Meridian Public Schools Board of Education, I am delighted to share that our recent renewal of the Non-homestead Operating Millage has been successfully passed!
The approval of this renewal ensures a stable foundation for years to come, supporting essential resources and programs that are vital to our educational mission. From employee compensation and classroom supplies to safety measures, technology enhancements, and extracurricular activities like athletics and band, this funding secures the continued excellence of our educational offerings.
To the entire Mustang community, thank you for placing your trust in us. Your belief in our mission to provide an educational environment that fosters curiosity and lifelong learning, both in and out of the classroom, has made this all possible.
The passage of the Non-homestead Operating Millage Renewal symbolizes the collective strength and unity of our Mustang community. Together, we demonstrate our steadfast dedication to the success of our students and the creation of a promising future for generations of Mustangs to come.
Thank you once again for your support and belief in the future of Meridian Public Schools. We remain committed to helping our students “Reach Higher” and expanding learning opportunities for all our students!
All the best,
Sarah M. Glann, Superintendent

What happens if the Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal is not approved by voters? If the millage is not approved by voters, MERPS would not receive its full foundation allowance. This would equate to a loss of $1.7 million per year from the district's general fund.
