Hello everyone,

June marks the celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month, a time dedicated to honoring the history, achievements, and contributions of the LGBTQ community. At Meridian High School, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where all students feel safe, respected, and valued.

Pride Month is an opportunity for us to reflect on the progress made towards equality, while also recognizing the challenges that still exist. It is a time to celebrate diversity and to promote understanding and acceptance of all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating LGBTQ Pride Month. Let us all take this opportunity to stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ friends, family, and neighbors, and to affirm our commitment to inclusivity and respect.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 360.398.8111. If you need translation support, please contact our cultural liaison, Elvira Trautman at 360.306.2886.

Senior Final Transcript

If you need your end of senior year, final transcript, sent to the college you will be attending in the fall, please submit your request via parchment asap. That way you can make sure your college has the information before school begins in the fall.

Meridian High School has partnered with parchment.com to fulfill transcript requests for current students and MHS alumni. Transcripts are securely sent electronically to colleges and universities across the nation, resulting in a reduction of lost documents at the financial aid offices. There is a fee for this service for students and alumni.  Please make sure that your intended college accepts electronic transcripts.

Please find the “Order transcripts through Parchment” link under Families & Students/Resources on the MHS website. Current students may call Mrs. Blankenship or Mrs. Waterman to receive their Parchment access code at the MHS office 360-398-8111.

D-DAY, JUNE 6TH

This year marks 80 years since D-Day.  D-Day, observed annually on June 6, brings overwhelming memories of the brave men and women who fought a strategically planned and well-executed battle that ultimately led to the end of the Second World War. More than 75 years after the end of World War II, these memories remain fresh to the over 100,000 living U.S. veterans of the war. The rest of us look to their legacy and the rich history of events told through museums and memorials. There is not a more important time than today for us to remember and honor them as we reflect on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
