FROM THE

PRINCIPAL

Today, as we honor our veterans, we are also preparing for the World Parade on Friday.

This is a special Meridian tradition celebrating the diverse cultures of our school.

In addition, this year the parade will be connected to a celebration for our girls varsity cross country team, which won second in state, and our girls and boys varsity and middle school beast volleyball teams, which swept the regional tournament last Saturday and will be competing for the state title this Saturday. Come out to Wimberley this weekend to cheer them on!

Congratulations as well to the members of our Model UN team that competed at the Central Texas Model UN (CTMUN) conference this past weekend, winning 7 awards!

Roar, Lions Roar!

Charles Ryder,

High School Principal

Class Pet for Algebra 2

Charlotte, make room for Geraldine! Ms. Boon’s Algebra 2 classes have adopted an orb weaver spider who has woven a beautiful web on the outside of their classroom window. How caring of the students to take care of her!
