🔥 WELD DONE, YELLOW JACKETS! 🔥

We are incredibly proud to celebrate these Meridian High School students who have successfully completed all requirements to earn the American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 2F Structural Steel Welding Certification—an industry-recognized credential that opens doors to high-demand careers:

👏 Jesse Scott
👏 Ellie Baker
👏 Dustin Padgett
👏 Thomas Denman
👏 Bradly Perry

We also want to give a special shout-out to Taylor Brown, who has met all certification requirements as well. Due to certification expiration timelines, her official AWS paperwork will be completed during her senior year—but her accomplishment deserves recognition now!

Help us congratulate these hardworking students in the comments below! 🐝💛

This first grader showed off her reading skills today, using her read to the principal pass.

Big savers get to be big spenders! Proud of Tannon, who saved 100 jacket bucks to get the Lego set he wanted.

There are no JV Basketball games this evening. Varsity Girls will tip off at 5pm Varsity Boys will follow.

It’s National School Counseling Week, and we want to give a massive shout-out to the heart and soul of our student support team: Mrs. Jarman and Mrs. Whitmer!

Our counselors go above and beyond every single day to ensure our Yellow Jackets have everything they need to succeed, both in and out of the classroom.

Yellow Jacket Nation, let’s show some love! Take a moment to drop a comment below and thank Mrs. Jarman and Mrs. Whitmer for their dedication to Meridian High School. 🐝💛
