I believe that students must be challenged with rigorous work and that learning is most effective when students are led to inquire, problem solve and construct knowledge by using their past experiences and skills rather than being told information. I also believe that relationships matter and create a foundation for educational success. If you have questions or concerns throughout the school year, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime by email, phone or make an appointment to stop in.

Message from the Associate Principal
It’s an exciting time to be a Cheesemaker! I am deeply committed to the goals of public education and I believe that a strong school system is essential for our community to continue to thrive. I look forward to supporting our teachers as they continue to provide impactful learning opportunities for our students. I am eager to begin working with students as they progress through this critical part of their education and as they make plans for a successful future after graduation. I firmly believe that parents/guardians are our strongest allies in promoting all the good things that our teachers and students are doing every day. Please feel free to contact me should you have any concerns or questions. With the support of parents/guardians and the community, we will continue to move forward at MHS with rigorous, challenging, and relevant coursework to challenge students while they attend MHS and build a foundation for success in life after high school. I am thrilled to be a Cheesemaker, and I am truly excited about what we will accomplish together this school year. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you feel the need to do so.
Respectfully, Josh Wilson, PhD. |
Our Mission
MHS will prepare, challenge, and support all students to achieve their goals for a productive life.
Our Vision
The policies, programs, and practices of Monroe High School reflect its commitment to helping all students learn. Our Administrators, Teachers and Support Staff will:
For more than six decades, the halls of Monroe High School have echoed with the footsteps of students, the cheers of fans, and the voices of educators committed to shaping generations. Built in 1958, the current MHS building has been more than just brick and mortar—it has been a cornerstone of the Monroe community, a place where memories were made, traditions were born, and futures were launched.
Now, as we stand on the threshold of a transformative new chapter, Monroe High School is preparing to say a heartfelt farewell to a building that has served its purpose well—and to step boldly into the future with a brand-new campus designed for 21st-century learning.
This coming school year will be unlike any other. It will be a year of honoring our past while building the foundation for what’s to come. For our students, staff, alumni, and community members, it will be a time to reflect on all the school has meant over the years and to celebrate the exciting opportunities ahead.
The old MHS building carries a deep sense of nostalgia. Alumni often share stories of state championships celebrated in the gym, lifelong friendships formed in classrooms, and the small moments that made their high school experience meaningful—from walking the halls before first period to senior pranks and graduation day. Teachers have poured their passion into these classrooms, and community events have brought generations together under its roof. It’s a place where history lives in every hallway.
But just as Monroe has grown and evolved, so too must the spaces in which our students learn and grow.
The new Monroe High School, set to open next year, will represent a dramatic leap forward in how we think about education. Designed with student-centered learning at its core, the new facility will feature flexible learning environments, cutting-edge technology, and collaborative spaces that foster creativity, innovation, and critical thinking. It will be a school built not just for today—but for the future.
Classrooms will no longer be confined by the traditional model. Instead, students will learn in spaces that adapt to their needs, where group work, hands-on exploration, and real-world problem solving take center stage. Hallways and common areas will double as learning zones. Labs and studios will empower students to engage deeply with STEM, the arts, and career pathways. The new campus will reflect the ways young people learn best—and will support teachers in designing engaging, meaningful instruction.
Yet, even with all the exciting new features, the heart of Monroe High School will remain unchanged. Our identity is not just about a building—it’s about people. The students who will be the last to graduate from the “old” MHS and the first to step into the new one will carry that legacy with them. They’ll link the past to the future, becoming living bridges between tradition and progress.
This final year in the current building will be a time of remembrance and celebration. Plans are underway to honor the history of Monroe High School throughout the school year—with events, storytelling, and opportunities for alumni and the community to walk the halls one last time. It’s important that we take the time to say goodbye the right way—to pay tribute to a place that has shaped so many lives.
At the same time, we’ll also begin building new traditions—ones that will take root in the new school and carry us forward for generations to come.
Change is never easy, especially when it involves a place so woven into the fabric of a community. But it’s also an opportunity. An opportunity to dream bigger, to provide our students with the tools they need to thrive, and to create a space that reflects the values and aspirations of Monroe.
So, here’s to a year of celebration, reflection, and anticipation. We will walk the familiar halls one last time with pride, gratitude, and a touch of bittersweetness. And then, together, we will open the doors to something extraordinary.
The best days of Monroe High School are not behind us—they are still ahead.
