Monroe Public Schools
MVHS taking applications for students
October 14, 2015

Registration is open now for Monroe Virtual High School for people from 9th grade through 19 years old who are not currently registered in high school but who want to earn their high school diplomas.  There is no cost to register for classes.  

            MVHS, operated by Monroe Public Schools, is the county’s longest-running virtual school and has made it possible for nearly 50 students to earn high school diplomas who otherwise might not have gotten the opportunity.  Monroe Virtual High School, which has been recognized by the University of Nebraska, started offering classes in 2010. 

            “For people seeking their high school diplomas after they had left high school, this is where those students can succeed,” said Monroe Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Barry Martin.

            Students at MVHS do most of their school work on-line outside of the classroom at times and places that are most convenient for them.  They are required to spend five hours weekly in the MVHS classroom with instructor Courtney Bodgen.  While study and lectures are done on-line, all testing is done in the classroom in front of a proctor at the former South Monroe Townsite School.  Students without internet-ready computers are assigned one when they register with Monroe Virtual

            Monroe Virtual High School’s flexible schedule is the perfect choice for students who because of job, family considerations or other circumstances left school before earning their high school diplomas.  All students who complete their graduation requirements at MVHS receive a high school diploma.  In fact, a good number of them have participated in graduation ceremonies with the next high school class.

            Persons interested in registering or talking with the instructor for more information are asked to call Mrs. Bodgen at Monroe Virtual High School at 734-265-5018.
