Meridian Public Charter School

We are so proud to share some exciting news from our Meridian family! 🎉

Our Executive Director, Dr. Rikki Hunt Taylor, has been selected as a member of the 2026 Pahara Fellowship, a highly competitive, nationally recognized leadership program that brings together some of the most impactful leaders in public education across the country.

The insights, relationships, and renewed sense of purpose she'll bring back will strengthen everything we do here at Meridian for our students and families.

This honor reflects what so many of you already know: Dr. Taylor shows up for this school and this community with everything she has.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Rikki Hunt Taylor on this incredible achievement. We are beyond proud. 🦉💛

Over 100 of you came out to Owl Fest Enrollment Day last month, and we are still smiling about it. 🦉

Rain and all, our community showed up ready to celebrate. Families enjoyed a 3v3 basketball tournament, a live DJ, line dancing, and free ice cream. And when the day was done, more than 50 families enrolled their children for the 2026-2027 school year, giving us a jumpstart in the season.

Thank you, Meridian. We love having you on campus. New and returning families interested in an open house event can click the link in bio to RSVP today. https://forms.gle/5sRZfuvKVMM4SJw36

Did you know that Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer in the United States? For many people, celebrations with barbecues, picnics, and other outdoor activities kick off the summer season.

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Birthday to our amazing Executive Director Dr. Rikki Hunt-Taylor! 🎉

Thank you for your leadership, heart, and dedication to our school community every day. Wishing you a year full of joy, success, and celebration! 🦉🎈

Healthy competition still matters. Sports and extracurriculars teach students teamwork, sportsmanship, resilience, and the value of consistent effort — lessons that build confidence and character far beyond the classroom. ⚽️🦉

Throwing it back to our CAPE Boot Camp moments with 4th & 5th grade students locked in on partnered reading, active note-taking, and sharpening their skills together. The hard work has already been done — now it’s time to finish strong! 📚🦉
