Meridian High School

PSAT Information: All 10th grade students, and 11th grade students who opted in, will take the PSAT on Tuesday, October 22nd from 7:45AM-11:00AM. This is an excellent opportunity for our students to get valuable practice for the SAT and set themselves up to earn scholarships. For students not taking the PSAT, you will have a Study Hall during the testing window. This is a great time to catch up on any late or missing work, and your 1A and 2A teachers will provide engaging asynchronous content for you to complete. After testing, all students will be dismissed for lunch and will resume their normal 3A and 4A class schedules for the rest of the day. Testing and Study Hall room assignments will be posted on the main office windows soon. Let's come together as a school community and do our very best!
