Meigs Middle School

10/12/2026

Our little school may have taken quite the beating from the hurricane, but NEVER question the heart, love, or loyalty of a Meigs Wildcat. 🐾

Busted windows. Flooded floors. Storm damage everywhere you look. But if there’s one thing this storm couldn’t touch, it’s the pride we have in our school and the people who make it so special.

On a day when our students could have been sleeping in and enjoying their time off, so many of them, along with their parents, reached out asking one simple question: “How can we help?”

And at 9:00 this morning, they showed up. Not because they had to. Not because anyone expected them to. But because this little school means something to them. They rolled up their sleeves, got to work, and reminded us that being a Wildcat is about so much more than what happens inside four classroom walls.

Windows can be replaced. Floors can be dried. Buildings can be repaired. But the kind of love and loyalty that showed up this morning? You can’t buy that. You build it. 🖤💛

Our building might be a little battered, but our Wildcat pride is stronger than ever.

To every student, parent, and family member who showed up or reached out, THANK YOU. You reminded us that Meigs isn’t just a school. It’s a family.

A hurricane may have knocked us down, but it picked the wrong Wildcats to mess with. 🐾💪

I know we are a little late with recognizing our latest Teacher of the Week but she deserves all of the love!

🏆 TEACHER OF THE WEEK: MS. WINGATE! 🏆

This week’s Teacher of the Week is Ms. Wingate, one of our amazing Civics teachers!

When you think about the best of the best, you think about teachers like Ms. Wingate.

She is incredibly good at what she does, cares deeply about her students, and holds them to high expectations because she knows exactly what they are capable of. But what makes Ms. Wingate even more special is that her impact doesn’t stop at her classroom door.

She is always willing to help. Whether it’s answering a question, sharing an idea, helping solve a problem, supporting a coworker, or simply stepping in wherever she’s needed, you can count on Ms. Wingate.

Every school needs those people—the ones you know you can go to, the ones who make everyone around them better, and the ones who consistently remind you what great teaching looks like.

Ms. Wingate is absolutely one of those people.

Thank you, Ms. Wingate, for the standard you set, the support you give, and everything you do for our Wildcats.

Congratulations to our Teacher of the Week, Ms. Wingate! 🐾💛🖤

🎤🐾 Leadership in Action!

Our Leadership students have spent the first nine weeks learning that leadership isn’t just about being in charge—it’s about knowing who you are, recognizing your strengths, learning from your experiences, and understanding the impact you can have on others.

To bring everything together, students created their own Leadership Portfolios! Each portfolio is a reflection of the individual student and includes pieces of their leadership journey, personal reflections and journal entries, meaningful artifacts, and examples of what they have learned about themselves throughout the quarter.

Now comes the part that takes a different kind of leadership: standing up and sharing it.

Some of our students presented their portfolios today, and the rest will take their turn tomorrow. We loved seeing their personalities come through in their work and hearing them explain the experiences, people, and things that have helped shape who they are.

The goal was never to create a perfect portfolio. The goal was for students to be able to look at their work and say, “This is who I am. This is what matters to me. And this is the kind of leader I want to become.”

We are incredibly proud of them! 🌟
