The History
                                              Th
e "Eagle" was selected by the planning committee
as the mascot for our new school. This mascot was
used by the original Meridianville School once
located at Lions Club Park. The actual design was
selected by our students and fine-tuned by our
art teacher, Mrs. Susan Henry. "Navy Blue" and
"Crimson were chosen as school colors in keeping
with the colors used by many of the Meridianville
summer youth league All-Star teams.
