About
Along with the high school for the Meridian Public School District, the Meridian building includes an elementary and middle school.

Before the school building was built, the towns of Daykin, Tobias, and Alexandria had already combined their schools for nearly 20 years inside Meridian. In that scheme the town of Daykin provided a building for students in elementary school; Alexandria, middle school, and; Tobias, high school. At the time of consolidation Meridian was a class C-2 Nebraska school. At the present time Meridian is a class D-1 school.
