Registration for Monroe Virtual High School (MVHS) will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Monday and Tuesday, August 8 and 9, at the Monroe Public Schools Administration Building, 1275 N. Macomb St.

     Monroe Virtual High School – the longest running school of its type in Monroe County – serves students who range from the 9th grade to 19 years old not currently enrolled in high school but who want to earn their high school diplomas.  All MVHS classes are free for the students, just like attending a traditional school.  MVHS students do not have to live in the Monroe Public Schools district.

     For those attending registration, no appointment is required but persons who were not previously registered in Monroe Public Schools must bring their birth certificate, their immunization record, and a copy of their transcripts when they sign up.  Any Monroe High School or Orchard Center High School student who is interested in enrolling in MVHS must consult with his or her counselor first.  Persons with questions about enrollment should call 734-265-3072.

     When School starts in September, MVHS will be located in the Riverside Early Learning Center, 77 N. Roessler St.  It previously had been housed in the former South Monroe Townsite School.  The new location provides considerably more parking and easier access.

     Monroe Virtual High School, with its flexible schedule, is the perfect choice for students who – because of jobs, family considerations or other circumstances -- left school before earning their high school diplomas.  Most learning can be done at home but all students must come to class for a minimum of five hours per week.  All testing is done in the presence of a teacher.

     Because all courses are on-line, students must have laptop computers with internet access.  If a student does not have access at home, MVHS can provide a laptop for use during the time a student is registered.

     MVHS has been operated by Monroe Public Schools since 2010 and has helped some 50 people earn their high school diplomas, something they might not have been able to achieve otherwise.
