A perfect night for football at Meridian as the Hawks came away with a 45-8 win over Oblong!

Thank you Hawk Nation for your support!!

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.

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!
