Welcome to Monroe City School System!
Foundation for the Future – Building Today for Tomorrow!
Monroe City School System is
having a great 2017-2018 school year!
And we are very excited about what is going to happen in the future!
Professional
Development
Our teachers and
principals are working very hard to better themselves in an effort to provide our
students with the best educational practices and environment. We recently had four principals complete the
Principal Fellowship Cohort. It is with
distinguished honor we recognize Jennifer Armstrong-Harris, Brian Bush, Lissa
Dumas, and Mary Dewitt (in photo below, l to r) as graduates of Louisiana's Cohort 2 NISL Principal
Fellowship Program. This unrivaled program has been proven to strengthen the
instructional leadership of aspiring and current leaders, and raise student
achievement across districts and states.
We appreciate their commitment to this year-long program.
As a district, our teachers
are involved in Teacher Leader Summits, Literacy Design Collaborative, Math
Design Collaborative, STEM training, and much more. We are striving to be cutting edge when it
comes to the education of our students.
We are now a Google Classroom
district! We are using the program to
provide our students a 21st century collaborative environment that
prepares them for real-world teamwork, as well as facilitate computer-literacy
and comfort. We look forward to the
phenomenal things we will be able to accomplish using this program, not just
within the schools but across the district!
Building for the Future
As part of the bond referendum
that was passed several years ago, we are building for the future of the
district and the city. We have several
major projects going on that will provide our students and athletes with state
of the art facilities in which to learn and grow. We have invested in infrastructure projects
that bring our buildings up to modern standards for heating, air, and water,
which allows the district to be more energy efficient. We have modernized our restrooms throughout
the district, too!
The district broke ground on September 28 for the CHS
Medical Magnet Facility. The $1M project
will further enhance the Medical Magnet Program and serve as a draw from the
community and the entire district.
Projects already in progress
are feature below.
