About

Along with the high school for the Meridian Public School District, the Meridian building includes an elementary and middle school. The Meridian building was completed in the winter of 1976-77, with classes starting there in the spring of 1977. Before the school building was built, the towns of Daykin, Tobias, and Alexandria had already combined their schools for nearly 20 years in Meridian. In that scheme the town of Daykin provided a building for students in elementary school, Alexandria a middle school, and Tobias a high school.

At the time of consolidation Meridian was a class C-2 Nebraska school. It is now a class D-1 school.
