Congratulations to Ben Scott and Marc Torrents for earning industry certifications this week in computer programming.

Ben earned the Oracle Certified Java Foundations Associate credential, and Marc earned the Python Institute's Certified Entry-Level Programmer credential. Both certifications are rigorous and demonstrate a serious level of commitment.

For a complete list of events, please see the CALENDAR on our website.

We have received several concerns about parents using the Monarch K–8 parking lot to drop off and pick up high school students. We would like to remind everyone that this lot is reserved for K–8 use only.

All high school student drop-offs and pick-ups should take place in the designated car line at the high school. Using the correct location helps ensure safety and keeps traffic running smoothly for all staff, students and families.

Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a safe campus environment.

Hey, Monarch High School students! Sgt. Cabot & Dr. Groom from TopCops Driving School are coming to your school on April 13th from 11:30 PM - 1:00 PM to talk about staying safe on prom night!

It has been a long-standing tradition at Monarch HS for senior families to create a photo poster to celebrate their graduating senior. Typically, these posters have been on display at Monarch HS for the week leading up to Prom/After Prom.

Please look here for senior poster guidelines and examples. Posters must be dropped off at the Monarch front office between April 9-17 and they should be collected April 27-30. Many families re-use these posters for graduation parties.

Contact monarchafterprom@gmail.com with questions.

Please click on the button below and complete the google form.

CHECK YOUR STUDENT EMAIL!!! We will email you when your ID is ready for pick up.

Pick up a clear plastic ID holder in the front office.

Juniors and Seniors, sign up now in Naviance! Counseling will send you a pass to come down to the Post Grad center, or other location noted on the pass, to join the visit.

Hello MoHi Juniors and Parents!

It was great to see so many of you at our Junior Journey night presentation. We wanted to share our presentation slides with you. It is also posted on our counseling website, mohicounseling.com. The presentation outlines important information to know as a Junior going into your last year of high school.

We also want to encourage 11th grade students to sign up for a junior meeting with their counselor. Counselors will go over everything you need to know to get out of high school and reach your post-secondary goals. Parents are welcome to join as well. You can sign up by clicking on your counselor's name on the mohicounseling.com homepage and choosing a block of time.

If you have further questions please reach out to your counselor.

Thank you,

Monarch Counseling Team
