We are excited to welcome two new teachers to MMS this year! Miss Herbert is our new special education teacher. She is also the assistant coach to the girls' basketball team. We are also excited to have Mr. Anderson at the Macon campus this year teaching 7-12 chorus and 6th grade music appreciation. If you see these two around campus, make sure to welcome them!!


These top ticket-sellers won a field visit at Busch Stadium before next weekend's game! Thanks to everyone who purchased tickets and plan to head to St. Louis to support the Meridian Music Boosters. We are looking forward to watching both bands perform before the Cardinals game!

Coach Allen & Coach Herbert met with middle school girls during study hall today to discuss the upcoming season. Tryouts are scheduled to begin on Monday from 3-5 p.m. Don't forget that those interested in trying out should have an up-to-date physical (within the calendar year) and should register on 8to18. Coaches will work with the girls currently playing softball during the overlap. Questions can be emailed to Coach Allen at allenj@meridianhawks.net. Go Hawks!!

We had a great first day back at Meridian Middle School! #WeareMeridian #AgreatdaytobeaHawk

Twas the night before school and all through the district, little Hawks were stirring to ready for bed. In hopes that the school bus to their home soon would be led.
The parents were elated, all giddy with joy. With visions of quiet homes that soon would deploy.
All the teachers and school staff were ready for what awaits, with promise that a great school year will be their fate.
When in the morning there rose such a clatter, moms and dads arose to see what's the matter. When what did their wondering eyes did appear, but little boys and girls dressed all in Hawks gear. The kiddos were excited, the parents delighted.
Finally, the first day of school was here!
Welcome back! Make it a great year!
We are Meridian!
