Five decades of Meridian history were on display during our 50th Anniversary Celebrations. Connecting over the nostalgia of past yearbooks, student work, photos, videos, and even a time capsule was incredible. Even more incredible were those we connected with! Thank you to all who came out to celebrate with us. Current and former teachers, students, and families had a memorable time honoring The Meridian School’s impact across generations.
While the first day of celebrating our 50th was all about looking back, the family picnic on Saturday was all about looking forward! We especially loved seeing so many Monarchs sign the time capsule with messages for future students to discover. Meridian has a bright future ahead!
Over the past five decades, generations of students, families, faculty, and friends have helped create a school grounded in curiosity, belonging, and joyful learning. Together, we honored not only our history but also the enduring importance of education. An exceptional education empowers young people to think deeply, engage compassionately, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them. The impact of that work extends far beyond the classroom and across generations.
“I wonder 50 years from now, where our students will be, or more importantly, what they will be doing. Meridian’s Dhamira, Maono, na Maadili give you a hint. Our work is educating elementary-age students to go on and go out into the wider world with creativity, empathy, and humility. Bright minds ready to work and play with others, to be responsible, engaged, community-minded citizens.”
– Peter Berner-Hays, Interim Head of School
