Principal's Message

jackson2.jpg

Dear Wildcat friends and families:

On behalf of the staff and faculty at Monrovia High School, I want to extend an enthusiastic welcome to you, our students and parents, for the 2011-2012 school year.

It’s an exciting time to be a Wildcat as great things continue to happen at Monrovia High School.  Monrovia High School graduates continue to excel academically evidenced by Ninety-Six percent of the Class of 2011 attending post secondary or career technology institutions. As construction is 95% complete, our current students have access to a new state of the art science building, auditorium and athletic facilities construction. They also have access to a multi-million dollar renovation in the cafeteria, library and an amphitheatre in Friendship Circle.

In addition to the physical changes, we continue to make improvements to the educational and extra-curricular opportunities for our students.  As a result our students have demonstrated academic excellence in the classroom as our API has increased 53 points over the past three years.  Your teachers continue to work diligently to create engaging lessons and meaningful learning experiences.  With the support of District Office administration and the Board of Education the school has purchased a significant amount of technology to support teachers and students in their academic endeavors.  Students, to make this yet another memorable year, we need your involvement.  There are many clubs, sports teams and performing groups to join.  It’s a great way to make friends and to develop both personally and socially.

Parents and Guardians, we encourage your involvement as well.  Continue to support your children by reinforcing the importance of good attendance and consistent effort.  Make an appointment to meet with your student’s counselor to review transcripts, make plans for college, a career technical plan or just to know who they are.  Show your interest as well by attending “Back to School Night,” joining a committee or booster club, or even attending a performing arts or sporting event.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns or suggestions.

Again, welcome and let’s have a great year.

 

Sincerely,

 

Darvin Jackson, Principal
