Hello Trojans!
It’s hard to believe how fast this year is flying by! December is already here, and with only 24 days left in the semester, this is the perfect moment for our students to lean in, stay focused, and show what they can do. The effort they put in now, big or small, will truly make a difference.
Our staff is here and ready to support students at every turn, whether that means extra encouragement, clarification, or help navigating the last stretch.
Let’s keep the energy high, lift each other up, and close out this semester with pride. Our students have already shown so much growth, and we’re excited to see them finish these next few weeks strong and confident.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.
Go Trojans!
-Shaun Doffing, Principal
-Rob Zabel, Assistant Principal

Winter WishesWinter Wishes gives everyone who is a part of the Meridian High School family a chance to make a wish for someone else. Every year for the last 10 years, the leadership class has raised money to grant the wishes that students and staff make for other students in our school. It is a unique and special opportunity for all of us to think of others when we wish. Because of the thoughtful wishing of students in our school combined with the efforts of our leadership students, Winter Wishes has provided gifts for hundreds of our students every year.
