Extra! Extra! Read all about us!

In the coming weeks, Monarch will be participating in the BVSD Showcase (October 11th) and our own Open Enrollment Night (November 28). At these events, we will be putting on display all the things that make Monarch High School extraordinary. We have put together a pamphlet that tries to highlight all of our academic, athletic, and activities excellence. This is really difficult to do in a short amount of space as there is so much to talk about. In my video update this week I try and give voice to all the extras that exist at Monarch and our goal of having all current and future Monarch families know about what makes our school great.

Thank you to everyone who supports our school and helps us achieve great things.

Follow the links below to see our showcase pamphlet, watch the principal’s video, and read the Monarch Messenger.

We're excited to be hosting our annual Image Summit Leadership Conference this year and hope your school will send a delegation! It will be Wednesday, Nov. 1 and Thursday, Nov. 2 for young people in grades 5-12th.

The mission of this youth conference is to empower young people from across the state to use their voice to impact government and become active community members. We want to build networks amongst young leaders here in Colorado! On day one of this event, we will offer attendees a sampling of breakout workshops from art to diversity in hopes to empower leaders, inspire community activist, and build confidence. On day two we will give attendees the opportunity to put their new-found skills and confidence to work, learning about local government and having the opportunity to meet and converse with elected officials from across the state.

Check out our video from last year's conference: 2022 Image Summit Leadership Conference

In the senior section of the yearbook, students submit a portrait of themselves for publication rather than their school ID picture.

“Portraits for All” believes that every high school senior deserves to have a high-quality senior portrait that they are proud of. We connect students who aren't in a financial position to pay for a portrait session with professional photographers in their area who are willing to donate their time and talent. Any rising high school senior in the Boulder/Denver metro area who qualifies for free or reduced lunch or can demonstrate financial need through another avenue (such as referral by a high school liaison) is eligible to request a session. We will do our best to match you with a photographer if one is available near you.

For more info go to:

Portraits for all website

SCHOOL MESSENGER: Instructions to Receive Messages (english & español)

Monarch High School provides an inclusive community to help students realize their passions, potential, and responsibilities as kind and educated global citizens.

As we welcome students back into our building for the 2023-2024 school year, we want to make sure to reiterate that BVSD has zero tolerance for discrimination and sexual harassment including sexual violence, which has no place in our school. We are dedicated to creating equitable learning spaces for all in our community

Al dar la bienvenida a los estudiantes de nuevo a nuestro edificio para el año escolar 2023-2024, queremos asegurarnos de reiterar que el BVSD tiene tolerancia cero para la discriminación y el acoso sexual, incluyendo la violencia sexual, que no tiene lugar en nuestra escuela. Estamos dedicados a crear espacios de aprendizaje equitativos para todos en nuestra comunidad.
