8TH GRADE NIGHT TONIGHT!
Tonight, the Hawks are back in action as they take on Sullivan at 6:30 PM — and tonight is extra special because it’s 8th Grade Night!
We want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate our 8th graders for everything they have brought to Meridian Baseball. We are proud of these boys and excited to celebrate them tonight!

WHAT A NIGHT TO BE A HAWK!
A perfect night for football at Meridian as the Hawks came away with a 45-8 win over Oblong!
The boys played great, the weather was perfect, and the atmosphere was even better. Great food from our concessions, fantastic front-row seats for the Rowdy Couch Club, and our cheer team and band kept the energy going all night long!
Thank you Hawk Nation for your support!!

Great game. Great weather. Great atmosphere.
We just didn't get the result we wanted, falling in a close game to Nokomis on 8th Grade Night.
But the result doesn't take away from the effort these girls gave tonight or everything they have put into Meridian Softball. We are proud of them and proud of the way they competed.
Thank you, 8th graders, for everything you've given to this program.

The home-opening excitement continues later on this week! Meridian Football will host its home opener this Saturday against Oblong. Game time 6:00pm.

It is a great day to be a HAWK!
Beginning Tuesday, August 25, the high school and middle school will begin dismissing school ten minutes earlier than normal. This change in format is being done in an effort to better accommodate transportation times to the Stonington campus and, in turn, alleviate later bus drop offs after school. Going forward, students will be dismissed from the high school and middle school at 2:20 pm on a regular day, 1:20 pm on a 1:30 dismissal day and 11:00 am on a half day of school. If you ride/pick up after school, please make sure to note the adjustment to these times. Thank you in advance!

MS Softball Fans!
Corpus Christi has asked if we can push the start time of our softball game back to 11:00 AM, and we have let them know that will work for us.
We are still waiting to hear back from their officials, but right now, the plan is to play at 11:00 AM.
If anything changes, Coach Johnson will send an update through the MS Softball SportsYou app.
Thanks for your flexibility and understanding!
