At Meridian, learning goes beyond the classroom. Through CareerTech Student Organizations like HOSA, SkillsUSA, BPA and FCCLA, students have opportunities to develop leadership skills, serve their communities and grow as professionals. Students also put their training to the test by competing in regional, state and national competitions, showcasing their talents alongside some of the best career and technical education students in the country.

Whether they're leading meetings, organizing projects, networking with industry professionals or earning medals on the competition stage, CTSOs help Meridian students build confidence and prepare for future success. Meridian students frequently earn recognition through CTSO competitions, demonstrating the high level of skill and dedication they develop in their programs.

These experiences help students climb higher and take the next step toward rewarding careers.
