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!!

Go Hawks!

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 district has the need for a substitute custodian, primarily at the Macon campus. If you are interested please call 217-764-5269 for more information.

Tonight marks the beginning of another exciting season at home as Meridian Volleyball and Meridian Soccer host their home openers!

Volleyball vs. Sullivan--JV starts at 6:00PM
Soccer vs. Olympia--Game time 6:00PM

There is also something new making its debut tonight — our new American Flag, which will be proudly displayed. We are excited to add this flag to our HS gym and create another way to show pride and tradition within Meridian Athletics.

A special thank you to Decatur Memorial Hospital and the Decatur Memorial Foundation for their generous support of Meridian Athletics. Their community sponsorship helped make this project possible, and we are grateful for their continued investment in the health, wellness, and activities of our students.

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

We hope you'll join us and help give our teams a great home-opening atmosphere! Let's pack the gym, fill the stands, and support our Hawks!

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!

Here is this week's athletic calendar for the HS.

Here is this week's athletic calendar for the MS.

8th Grade night for our softball team will be on Tuesday vs Nokomis.

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!

HAWKS WIN BIG!

After making the two-hour trip to Pal-Hut, our football team came away with a 62-14 victory!

What a way to open the season. Great job by our players and coaches, and thank you to everyone who made the long trip to support the Hawks!

Now it’s time to come home!

Home Opener: Saturday, August 29--6:00PM
Meridian vs. Oblong

We’d love to see a big crowd at the home opener as we keep the season rolling!
