Our highly-educated staff are focused on supporting not only the growth of our students and teachers but also supporting the mental health and emotional needs of all in our community. At Centennial we believe in practicing the ABCs - our Raptor Qualities of Accountability, Belonging, and Courage. We learn about what these qualities mean, look like and sound like together, and then we practice them in every aspect of our time together in school. We would love for you to be a part of our Raptor Family! Meridian opened its doors in 2004 with a focus on excellence. Working with the community, the name Meridian was selected with an emphasis on the meaning “pertaining to the highest point.” Since that time, the staff, students, parents and community have continued to work together to make this vision come true. Meridian has received multiple recognitions over the years for its outstanding growth and high achievement results, and the Meridian community remains focused and committed to providing its students with learning opportunities that they will take with them into middle school, high school, college and life.
