Meridian High School
New high school drives 21st century learning environment
The new Meridian High School is designed for a maximum student capacity of 1,500 students. The purpose of the new building is to promote collaborative learning and to foster independent learners, innovators, and problem solvers. Whether students bike to school, carpool with neighbors, or take the bus; they will all enter through the same entrance. Through that entrance, students, faculty, and visitors enter the heart of the school where a stair connects all levels of the building.
