Meet the Meridian Team

Executive Director Dr. Rikki Hunt-Taylor

Dear Meridian Parents and Families,

I am thrilled and honored to serve as Meridian's Executive Director. I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside each of you as a part of this incredible school community.

I have been an educator in my hometown of D.C. for over 27 years. I loved my time in the classroom, but I have felt the most satisfaction when leading schools and supporting school leaders. I believe in the power of community and collaboration, and I am elated to join this family as we work together to ensure that our students are prepared to live the life of their dreams, that they know how to be leaders in their own communities as well as productive members of the broader global community, and are driven to become lifelong learners.

I believe that each and every one of our students, no matter their background or ability, can become excellent readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, artists, and critical thinkers. I have no doubt that together, we will create opportunities for them to flourish both in and outside of the classroom. From outstanding teaching, engaging community trips, to a strong athletic and afterschool program, we will design experiences that will capture our students' hearts and minds and encourage their growth and development.

I am excited to get to learn more about your hopes and dreams for the future of our school, and how together, we can continue to build upon a strong foundation of academic excellence. Can't wait to see you on campus!

With Literacy and Justice for All,

Dr. Rikki Hunt-Taylor
