History

Background

Meridian Charter High School resulted from three years of study and exploration by the "Committee for More Choice in the Meridian Joint School District" into how to create educational innovation within the District. The Committee was made up of local business leaders and educators. In 2006, the name was changed to Meridian Technical Charter High School.

Purpose

The purpose of Meridian Technical Charter High School is to expand the academic choices available to students who are interested in the technology field. This school offers an environment rich in technology, giving students experience using technology applications in the school and in the workplace. MTCHS hopes to give all students a chance to advance their technology skills. The technology pathways offered are programming, media arts, networking, and electronics/pre-engineering. The purpose of these classes is to show the students what that field looks like in the real world. We offer college classes, for college credits.
