School Notes
- MA's curriculum is offered both in the classroom and hybrid online supported by Edgenuity and meets TX state requirements for earning the 22 or 26 credits needed to obtain a High School diploma. Students are evaluated based on their previous educational history and assessments and are given personalized learning plans based on their competencies. Additionally, students who successfully complete our program are more readily prepared to take state tests such as the Texas Success Initiative (Houston Community College), the THEA (University of Houston) as well as the ASVAB test (Military). Our curriculum meets and exceeds the training and subject area requirements to successfully complete the above entrance exams needed for higher education. Over the past 10 years, Meridian has provided well over 1000 students a second chance opportunity to obtain their High School diploma. We believe that our students are our main assets and we take pride in each of them while treating them with respect and in a professional manner. Upon graduating from our High School program, our students have had the opportunity to graduate from college, joined the workforce, or entered the military. Students can also enroll in other high growth high demand Career and technical classes provided on the same campus by Meridian to gain valuable, hands-on career skills. Our graduates thus leave Meridian with a new direction and purpose while holding a High School diploma and obtaining career skills which lead to gainful employment.
