Dear Meridian High School Community,

Get ready to trade winter coats for team jerseys because Spring Sports Season is right around the corner! Beginning Monday, February 26th, we’ll be kicking off an action-packed lineup of sports including baseball, softball, golf, track and field, boys soccer, girls tennis, and cheer tryouts.

However, we do have one Winter Sports team still competing.  Meridian Boys Basketball held on for an exciting win on Friday night against Life Christian, 63-57.  They now travel to the SunDome in Yakima to compete for a State title starting Wednesday morning.

Sports aren’t just about winning games; they’re about building friendships, learning life lessons, and growing as individuals. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to the game, there’s a place for you on one of our teams.

Join us in supporting our student-athletes as they showcase their talent, dedication, and sportsmanship this spring. Let’s make this season one to remember!
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.

Go Trojans!

Sincerely,
MHS Office Team

Family CEE Survey

We want to hear from you!

For us to continue to improve as a school district and as a school, it is important for us to understand how we are doing in providing a quality education for all students.

Please take a moment to complete this annual survey which helps us better understand areas we need to focus on in order to provide the best quality education for our students. This survey will also serve as data for us as we continue to work toward meeting our goals outlined in Our Commitments, our strategic plan.
