Update for 2019-2020 School Year

Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, Meridian will have only one lettering season -- spring. This means all of our Fall Sports (Cross Country, Fall Tennis and Volleyball) will letter in the spring with our other sports and extracurricular activities. Additionally, there will be only one letter jacket ordering event for the school year - in May, 2020. The list of all students who lettered in 2019-2020 will be posted on this webpage by May 5, 2020.

Therefore, anyone who lettered this spring is encouraged to order their letter jacket during the May 16th and 17th ordering event as the next letter jacket ordering event will be May 2020.

About Meridian Letter Jackets & "Lettering" at Meridian

A letter jacket is traditionally worn to represent a student's school, team and/or competitive or leadership extra-curricular activity. At Meridian, a letter jacket includes the red and black jacket itself and the Meridian "M" patch on the front left (see image). The "M" may or may not include an earned insert (see Tennis insert in image). To earn an insert, the student must have lettered in that Meridian extra-curricular activity (see lettering requirements here). The IB insert is the only exception. All Meridian students who are eligible to purchase a letter jacket and/or who have lettered in extra-curricular activity may choose the IB insert (see image below).
