It was such a pleasure to get to attend the IPA Student Leadership breakfast with Maggie P. today. She is so deserving of this recognition and I truly appreciate how much she has done for Meridian High School over the last four years. Not only was Maggie recognized for her commitment to her academics and her leadership, she also was the recipient of one of two IPA Abe Lincoln Region scholarships awarded today! Maggie, I could not be more proud of you and all you have accomplished!
Today we were able to celebrate these five student-athletes who signed their letters of intent. Connor will cheer for McKendree College, Lleyton will play football at Illinois College, Sebastian will continue his basketball career at Wabash College, Caleb will play baseball at McKendree College and Cooper signed to play football/track at Millikin. Congratulations to these five, thank you for all you have done for Meridian High School and best of luck!
Had a chance to watch our boys play baseball today and pick up the W over Tuscola. These players and coaches have worked hard and it shows. They have utilized senior leadership and relied on relatively young players to keep battling. Great job today, fellas. Keep grinding and keep those smiles on your faces! #WeAreMeridian
