Dear Mead Families,
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable summer break. Our school was very busy all summer with summer school, jumpstart, music camps, sports practices, youth camps, and more. We are very excited to be starting up the 26-27 school year. Our teachers, coaches, and staff are busy preparing for another amazing year in which we will support each and every student with a strong competitive advantage as they prepare for their post-secondary opportunities. This year we are going to continue our work by building on the already strong foundation of success that makes Mead one of the top schools in the state.
At Mead, we are an inclusive community that is civically and academically engaged. We foster a love of learning through collaboration, communication, and innovation. We prepare students for the ever-changing world.

- Drop-off/pick-up traffic must enter from CR 7 at the south entrance.
