HAWK NATION — WE NEED YOU TONIGHT!
What a week it has been at Meridian! From Boys Volleyball and Powder Puff to our Homecoming Assembly filled with games, laughter, and school spirit, our students have made this week one to remember.
Tonight, we want to take that spirit beyond the school walls and into our community!
We are calling on all of Meridian to come out and line the streets for our Homecoming Parade tonight at 5:30 PM!
The parade will be escorted out of the school by our community first responders, travel down Wall Street, turn at Whit's End onto Front Street, then turn onto Glenn Street before heading back to Wall Street and finishing at the school.
Our fall athletes, students, coaches, and organizations will be out celebrating, and we want them to see the community that stands behind them.
Tomorrow, our football team takes on Pawnee at 11:00 AM. Our students have planned a Homecoming Tailgate Breakfast, and the day will continue with football, friends, and the Homecoming Dance.
But first, let's show our kids what it means to be part of Meridian.
You don't have to be a parent, an athlete, or even have a student in school to be part of this. This is OUR community, and our kids deserve to see us show up for them.
Bring the family. Find a spot along the route. Wave, cheer, and help us make some memories.
Let's fill the streets with Green and White!

The Macon campus will be running an alternate bell schedule tomorrow morning to accommodate the planned Homecoming festivities! Don't forget - The entire district (K-12) will dismiss from Macon following the District Assembly tomorrow afternoon. Because of this, students may arrive home earlier than anticipated.
Please Note the Following for Friday's Dismissal -
*MMS/MHS students will begin dismissing at 2:10 p.m. to either get to their bus, meet their pick up, or start walking home. Once all HS/MS students are on their way, we will begin organizing the MES students for dismissal.
*All bus riders (k-12) will be picked up from the MMS entrance (Door #3). MES students will be escorted to buses.
*MMS/MHS car riders will be picked up from the MHS entrance (Door #13). Cars picking up MMS/MHS students should enter AND exit from the north drive near the football and softball fields. The south drive will be blocked off for MES car riders.
There will be staff members in the lot to help the flow of traffic, but please remember to not use the south drive (between the building and the baseball field) as it will be blocked off for MES car pick up. Through traffic will not be permitted until we begin loading MES students.
What a day for Wyatt Martin!
Wyatt fired an impressive 79 yesterday at the IHSA Class 1A Macon (Meridian) Regional, earning himself a spot in the Class 1A Sectional!
He will compete Monday, October 5, at the University of Illinois Orange Course in Urbana. Congratulations, Wyatt, and best of luck as you continue your postseason run!
We also want to recognize the rest of our boys' golf team for their hard work, commitment, and effort throughout the season. We are proud of the way these Hawks have represented Meridian!
Great work, gentlemen! Go Hawks!

Girls Golf Season Comes to an End!
Our girls wrapped up their season today with a great day at the IHSA Regional at Meadowview Golf Course in Mattoon.
We’re proud of these ladies and the effort, improvement, and commitment they showed throughout the season. Thank you for representing Meridian Athletics with pride!
Great season, Hawks!

MHS has a couple of coaching opportunities for the upcoming spring!
Career Exploration Comes to Life at Meridan High School!
Meridan High School students are getting hands-on with the future through the Transfr VR program! Thanks to a Workforce Development grant, 10 VR headsets are giving students the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in experiences featuring 60+ careers across medical fields, skilled trades, community services, and more.
Through a partnership with Macon-Piatt ROE #39, Instructional Coach Crystal Hoadley visits classrooms to guide students through these interactive career experiences and help them discover new possibilities.
So, if your student comes home saying they learned how to replace a knee or repaired a communication tower more than 100 feet in the air today… believe them! 😄
The future of career exploration is here—and our students are experiencing it firsthand!

A special group of Meridian athletes came together today, and wanted to mix them together for a reason.
Both our softball and baseball teams made it to their Regional Championship games this Fall season. While neither team came away with the championship, both teams competed in high-stakes games and gave themselves a good chance to win.
These are some of the experiences we hope our student/athletes carry with them. The next time they find themselves in a big game, a big moment, a new activity, or a challenging situation in life, they can look back and know they have been there before. They know what it feels like to show up, compete, handle the pressure, and give their best.
This picture is just a small sample of the great kids and teams we have at Meridian. We are proud of every one of them and everything they have accomplished. (Unfortunately we were not able to catch each player for the pic.)
We wish them all the best of luck as they move on to their next sport, activity, and challenge. Keep putting yourself in these moments. Keep competing. Keep giving your best. Hawk Nation is behind you.
Go Hawks!

Stay tuned to see who advances out of the Regional! Go Hawks!

Congratulations to our quarterback, Bryce Brown, on being named the Sully’s Sports I8FA Player of the Week!
This is a great individual recognition, but it also reflects the hard work and energy our entire football program has brought to the season.
Our Hawks are 4-0, and there is a lot of excitement surrounding this team right now. We’re proud of the way our players and coaches have competed, and we’re looking forward to carrying that energy into Week 5.
Next up: we travel to MEL on Thursday, September 17, with kickoff set for 7:00 PM.
