Meridian hires new AD to lead it into exciting era of change

With a number of changes on the horizon and the Meridian School District expected to start construction on a new high school in September, every aspect of the school is likely to see some level of adjustment over the next couple of years.
That certainly includes the Trojans' athletic programs, which this week learned who will lead them into what the black and gold faithful hope is an exciting new era of Meridian sports.
Meridian superintendent Dr. Tim Yeomans said former Mount Vernon High School Dean of Students, Kurt Harvill, will assume the role of high school vice principal and athletic director this fall. Harvill replaces Chad Larsen, who last month announced he was taking the AD position at Bellingham after 11 years as a teacher and coach in the Meridian School District, including the past 21/2 years as the AD.
