Today is the statewide principal appreciation day. As a principal, so much of your time is spent fulfilling other people's needs, both students and staff. Principals have such a demanding job day in and day out. Thank you to a GREAT administrative team at Meridian! Mrs. Guebert, Mrs. McGuire, and Mr. Hurelbrink, your leadership is so appreciated.
Substitute Teachers Needed!
We are in need of substitute teachers. Below is the website link for information on becoming a substitute. You do not need an education degree and can be approved as a short term substitute with an associates or bachelors degree in any area of study.
