About
Monroe High School is a community of lifelong learners in which staff, students, parents, and citizens cooperatively interact in a safe environment. This relationship provides meaningful, diversified opportunities to develop attitudes, knowledge, and skills necessary for successful living in a changing world. We value the past, recognize responsibility to the present, and have goals for the future.
We are the only comprehensive high school within the Monroe School District boundaries and our school serves approximately 1,500 students in grades 9-12. View the Monroe School District boundaries here.
Monroe High School was built in 1999 and remodeled in 2005 to include an additional classroom wing and sports stadium. The building is 209,432 square feet and sits on approximately 33 acres. There are 74 classrooms and three portables with a capacity for 2,133 students. In addition, MHS has a synthetic athletic field with running track, a 2,000 seat covered grandstand and press booth, a 500 seat visitors' bleacher, and eight tennis courts. Thanks to a voter-approved bond, an all-weather softball field with lighting and a practice field were added in 2016, and an all-weather baseball field with lights was added in 2017.

School Improvement Plan
Our School Improvement Plan (SIP) is an action plan that identifies the areas we plan to focus on in the current school year, the performance goals we want students to achieve, and how we plan to collaboratively meet these goals. The plans are updated annually each fall.
School Report
School Reports show a brief snapshot of a school’s academic growth, student climate, accountability, family and staff engagement, and overall school performance. School reports are produced by the State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for each school and district in the state and updated periodically throughout the year as data becomes available.
On state assessments, students who are expected to participate but do not, such as absences or opting out, are counted as non-proficient. This may affect the school’s overall proficiency rating.
School Climate & Culture Survey
School Climate & Culture Surveys are used for school-level improvements, climate surveys are given to all staff, students, and families each year. The student surveys are given to students in class in the fall and in the spring; the family and staff survey occurs in the spring.
