Monroe High School
59 new AIM successes top 200

A record 59 Monroe High School students successfully reached their second trimester academic goals in the MHS’ Allies in Monroe (AIM) program, earning $200 scholarships each for their successful efforts.

     This now means that in the five semesters the program has been in place at Monroe High School, more than 200 students have achieved their goals earning more than $40,000.  While a number of the 59 students were honored for the first time, one of them – Jaleene Frayer – has made her AIM goals all five trimesters, earning $1,000, the only MHS student to have done so.

     The second-year AIM program is an academic incentive and mentoring program for all MHS students.  The program is designed to enhance student achievement, increase the number of students furthering their education after high school and improve student-staff community relationships.  Mentors are called “allies” and they encourage the students to reach at least a 15-percent increase in their grade point average.  More than 80 percent of the MHS staff members mentor a student in the AIM program.

     The biggest community support for mentors has come from Promedica Monroe Regional Hospital where 19 employees were involved as “allies” with MHS students.  At the most recent recognition banquet, hospital representative Mark Cochran received a large thank you poster signed by every one of the students who achieved their AIM goals in the second trimester of this school year.  Three other businesses which have been strong supporters from the start – Monroe Bank & Trust, DTE Energy and La-Z-Boy – also were recognized. 

     AIM, which aims to enhance the overall Monroe High School career-and-college ready culture, is the only program of its kind in Monroe County. 

     Although a Monroe High School program, AIM cannot be supported with district money.  MHS teacher David Henry is the AIM program coordinator.  Persons, businesses or groups interested in supporting the program can contact Mr. Henry at 734-265-3612.
