In an editorial outlining its Editorial Platform for 2016, the Monroe News cited the work going on at Monroe High School as an example of the kinds of strides that need to continue in education.
The News wrote, “Educators at all levels have increased options for lifelong learning. High school-college enrollment is expanding, a “college-going” culture has taken root at Monroe High School, more work skills courses are available. Virtual academies and on-line courses help non-traditional students earn diplomas and early childhood learning continues to grow. Especially important in 2016 will be the renewal of the countywide technology millage that has been a model for other places around the state.”
The highly successful Career and Technical Education program at Monroe High School will be on full display this Thursday at the CTE Expo at the Monroe County Intermediate School facility at 1101 S.

The 13 different CTE disciplines taught at Monroe High School all will have representatives and students available to chat with visiting parent and students. See the attached poster for more information.
