Meyer. Although it is his first year at Neponset, Mr. Meyer has initiated and implemented changes to our unit school system. As superintendent of School Unit District 307 and principal of Neponset High School, Mr. Meyer has worked diligently with board members to further the educational needs of the students. Working with several groups of persons such as board members, faculty members, students, and parents is not always an easy task.
