Congratulations to MTCHS Class of 2026 graduate 𝐌𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 on receiving an incredible $𝟏𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 from the Call to Action Foundation! This prestigious scholarship supports outstanding students across the western United States and will help Mar as she begins her next chapter at Boise State University.
With this award, Mar`s total scholarships now exceed $127,000—a testament to years of hard work, leadership, creativity, and service.
Mar`s journey at MTCHS is one we`re incredibly proud of. She started as a quiet freshman and graduated as a confident leader. Through MTCHS and SkillsUSA, she discovered her voice, stepped outside her comfort zone, and learned to balance leadership with taking quiet moments to recenter and recharge.
Along the way, Mar: 🏆 Won Idaho SkillsUSA state championships in Community Service and T-Shirt Design, earning 10th and 9th place finishes at the National Leadership & Skills Conference. ❤️ Helped organize MTCHS`s 24-hour Extra Life gaming marathon, raising nearly $23,000 for St. Luke`s Children`s Hospital. 🐉 Served as the Idaho SkillsUSA High School Historian for 2025–2026. 🎓 Served as Student Government Treasurer and was a member of both the National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society. ❄️ Competed on the Snow Team and embraced every opportunity to grow.
Mar credits MTCHS teacher and SkillsUSA advisor Mr. Duane Erickson with encouraging her to step outside her comfort zone and helping her realize what she was capable of. We`re grateful for the impact he`s had on Mar and so many other students.
Congratulations, Mar! Your MTCHS family couldn`t be prouder, and we can`t wait to see all you`ll accomplish next. ❤️🖤
Keeping our school running smoothly is a big job, and we are so grateful for the team that makes it happen!
As many of you know, our amazing longtime custodian, Vince, retired last year after serving MTCHS since our doors first opened in 1999. Filling those shoes was no easy task, but 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨 stepped up and has been doing a phenomenal job keeping our campus shining! 🌟 If you spent any time around school last Spring, you already know his friendly smile and bright, positive attitude make everyone`s day better.
We’re also excited to introduce 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐡, who has recently come on part-time to help manage the massive responsibility of caring for both MTCHS and our sister school, Meridian Medical Arts Charter High School (MMACHS).
Managing two campuses is no small feat, and Mario & Seth are doing incredible work every single day to keep our spaces safe, clean, and ready for learning.
💙 Please join us in giving Mario and Seth a big MTCHS welcome! 🐉🐉

We have 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 for 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 to join Meridian Technical Charter High School this fall.
𝗠𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗦 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 where students receive an exceptional academic education while exploring high-demand technology careers through hands-on learning.
If you`re a student who loves technology, enjoys solving problems, and is ready to challenge yourself, MTCHS could be the perfect fit.

If you`re willing to put in the effort, you`ll find incredible opportunities, supportive teachers, and classmates who share your passion for learning.
Starting with the 2026–2027 school year, Meridian Technical Charter High School—along with all public schools across the state—will observe a daily 60-second moment of silence at or near the beginning of each school day. This update reflects the requirements of Idaho Code Title 33-1639 (enacted under Idaho House Bill 623).
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰
𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺: During this minute, students are free to use the time in whatever way is personally meaningful to them—whether that means quiet reflection, silent prayer, or simply taking a peaceful moment to prepare for the day. No other activity is allowed. 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: By law, school staff cannot instruct or guide students on how to use this time. Their role is strictly to maintain a calm, quiet, and respectful classroom free from distractions or interruptions. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: All students are expected to remain completely silent, no distracting displays and respectful of others during this time.
𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭
We encourage you to discuss this daily moment of silence with your teenager. It is a great opportunity to share your family’s values, traditions, or beliefs, and to guide them on how you’d like them to spend this time. These conversations help students use the minute thoughtfully while learning to respect the diverse beliefs and quiet moments of their peers.
We`re proud to celebrate Magnus Einarsson, one of five Idaho public charter school graduates selected to receive the Idaho Governor`s Cup Scholarship!
Magnus graduated this year after excelling in three of MTCHS`s senior programs—Business, Entrepreneurship, and Computer Science. Beyond the classroom, he demonstrated outstanding leadership while serving as the 2025–2026 Idaho SkillsUSA High School President.
The Idaho Governor`s Cup Scholarship recognizes students who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement, leadership, and a commitment to their future. It is one of Idaho`s most prestigious scholarship opportunities for graduating seniors and homeschool students, with proceeds from the Idaho Governor`s Cup tournament funding these awards.
Congratulations, Magnus! Your hard work, leadership, and dedication have made the entire MTCHS community proud. We can`t wait to see what you accomplish next!
