History

The school began classes in the year of 1904 at the the corners of Pine Street and Meridian Road, in a one room school house. Meridian High was the first high school in the Meridian area. It was followed by Centennial High School in 1988 and Eagle High School in 1995. In 2003, because of growth, Meridian High's boundaries changed once again with the newly constructed Mountain View High School and the new Rocky Mountain High will be online shortly.
Currently Meridian High School is undergoing extensive reconstruction and multiple new buildings are being placed on campus to provide relief to overcrowding and to make way for Magnet programs currently in the works.
Meridian High's 100-year existence is home to a rich heritage, full of traditions.
