Principal's Message

Dear Vista Meridian Family,

It is truly an honor to serve as the principal of Vista Meridian Global Academy! As the leader of a new and innovative high school, I am very proud of the experiences, opportunities, programs, and advantages we offer our learning community! 

We boast a rigorous instructional program and high levels of student hands-on learning at both the high school and college levels. With a comprehensive college and career readiness vision, Vista Meridian is preparing students for leadership positions in high-wage, high-demand industries of their choice.  Most importantly, Vista Meridian offers its students the opportunity to earn free college credit while they are in high school so that students can make progress toward a college degree and/or earn professional certifications that will give them recognized advantages in their chosen field.

Through the many partnerships that Vista Meridian has formed, we have the ability to offer students college courses integrated within their school day, paid internships to work in their selected career pathway, and opportunities to participate in international leadership conferences such as the Operation Smile International Student Leadership Conference.  What’s truly impressive is that Vista Meridian is able to provide these amazing opportunities in a setting that also stresses the importance of character development, respect, responsibility, and resilience.

I am passionate about collaboration and continuous learning with our staff, students and families to create an environment of high-quality learning where our students are loved and cared for. We are proud of our instructional program that focuses on global perspectives, academic rigor, and mutual respect. Additionally, our community partnerships have allowed us to ensure that our students have the services and resources necessary to be successful. Our Vista Meridian students deserve it! My door is always open as we work together to transform the school experience for our students and school community!

Looking forward to a great school year!

Warmly,

Dr. Catherine Real
