I loved going to a small town school, at Meridian, during times of tragedies, the whole community would come together, and support one another, that is something you do not find in bigger schools.

Our extracurricular activities such as band, UIL, etc.., are fun, and rewarding. Many students participate in UIL, and many get far in their events. I have been to state twice for Literary Criticism thanks to my UIL coach, and I know that many others will get far this year also.

Most teachers are very thorough, and are helpful with there teaching. There are a few that are more difficult to deal with, but not so difficult that you would fail the class. For the most part our teachers make learning fun, and easy.

Most teachers are not certified, parents are not notified of this fact. Little to no discipline. Teachers are told to pass students in athletics.

I would give this school an excellent rating because they really took me in when I didn't know anybody and now I'm friends with everybody and the teachers are very nice too.
