Last night we celebrated the 1 million dollar milestone for the Carroll Scholarship. Thank you to the Carroll family, the Community Foundation and RCC for providing our students with this wonderful opportunity! We Are Meridian!
We will celebrate with RCC and the Heart of Illinois Community Foundation this evening at the football game!
It's a home game football Friday! The maintenance team has the field looking great. The Hawks are looking to improve to 2-0 on the season vs. Heyworth!
Today Mrs. Stewart's Honors English I students worked with some shoes! They are at a point in their unit where they are talking about making assumptions about others and how easy it is to judge a book by its cover. Hopefully it was a fun way to wrap up the week and cover an important issue!
Mrs. Rappés Microbiology students traveled to the Therkildsen Field Station at Emiquon today. There, students had the opportunity to collect specimens from the wetlands and then examine them in the microscopy lab.
Mr. O'Brien's STEM class tested solar panels while working with circuits during class today.
This Friday, September 6, we will have a special recognition at halftime of our varsity football game. The Dell and Evelyn Carroll Scholarship, offered to MHS grads who attend Richland Community College, has surpassed the 1 million dollar mark in tuition paid. We invite any recipient of this scholarship to join us on the field to help us celebrate this unbelievable gift our graduates have received.
Hawks fans- this Friday, Sept 6, the MHS Varsity football team hosts Heyworth. Our home game the following week, September 13, has been moved to Thursday, September 12 @ 7pm, due to a conflict in scheduling officials.
