Planning our Future

FUTURE GROWTH

Meridian Technical Charter High School is embarking on a long-range planning initiative to enhance student opportunities and strengthen our workforce pipeline. This crucial effort involves assessing community needs, creating a Master Facility Plan (MFP) and a Comprehensive Financial Plan (CFP). These will serve as vital roadmaps for our school's programmatic, physical and financial development over the coming decades.

WHY WE'RE DOING THIS

For over two decades, since 1999, MTCHS has been a cornerstone of technical education in the West Ada School District. As our community expands and technological advancements accelerate, it is essential that we proactively plan for the next 20 years by:

  • Understanding student and industry needs.
  • Evaluating our current facilities and space limitations.
  • Exploring funding options.
  • Involving our community – families, staff, students, and partners.
