A baccalaureate service open to all Monroe High School seniors and other local high school seniors, too, will be held at 7 p.m., Thursday, June 2, in the Monroe High School Auditorium, 901 Herr Rd.
The service is a long-time tradition at Monroe High School and is being planned by several local churches to honor and to inspire this year’s graduates.
All Monroe County graduates are invited and encouraged to attend. Graduates are asked to wear their school’s cap and gown. All participating seniors should line up in the foyer outside the auditorium at 6:45 p.m. that night to proceed into the ceremony.
The inspirational service will include student, teacher and local pastor participation as a way to honor all 2016 graduates. The Rev. Kevin Eccles, pastor of Monroe Free Methodist Church, will be the keynote speaker.
For more information, please contact Tammy Massingill at 734-625-0669.

This is a reminder that Wednesday, May 18, is an early release day for many of our students but NOT for Monroe High School. The MHS all-day attendance is due to the state-mandated testing schedule and the need for students to receive the required number of instructional hours. On Wednesday, all students in all of our elementary schools, Monroe Middle School and Orchard Center High School – will have an early release after a half-day of classes. However, Monroe High School students will attend school the regular times – from 7:23 a.m. until 2:12 p.m.
By building, here is the early-release schedule for May 18.
Orchard Center High School – 10:14 a.m.
Monroe Middle School – 11:09 a.m.
