  • Current MHS Students (Grades 9-11): In February, MHS students are given information and instructions at school regarding course selection and scheduling for the following school year. Students and their parents/guardians are asked to review the course information together, complete and sign the course selection form, and then return the course selection sheet to school within the designated time frame. Students and families are encouraged to contact the Student Services Office with questions about high school courses and future education and career plans.

     

    Incoming Freshmen (Grade 8): Counselors visit Monroe Middle School to present information to eighth-grade students about future course selection at MHS.

     

    Course Information Night: MHS offers information to parents and/or guardians of current MHS students and incoming 8th graders at Course Information Night in February regarding classes at MHS for the following school year, presentations about specific high school opportunities and school expectations.

     

    Monroe High School’s classroom schedule is based on the course requests students make during spring registration. When a student’s course selection is finalized, a series of commitments on the part of the school is made. Course selection, therefore, is extremely important and should be considered as much a commitment on the part of the student as it is the school. Students are urged to consult with parents, course instructors, and counselors before making course selections.  Some schedule changes may need a parent and/or teacher signature. Changes that may need a signature could include dropping a core course, requesting a change of teacher or adding/dropping specific elective courses.

     

    Schedules may be adjusted at the end of the school year and during the summer for the following reasons:

    • Student fails a required class and needs to make up the credit

    • Due to a schedule conflict the student needs to make another choice

    • Student wishes to add a seventh or eighth class

    • Evidence of scheduling error/computer error

    • Student has an incomplete schedule

    • Requests for a schedule change do not automatically equate to a schedule change being approved.

    • Schedules will NOT be adjusted for the following reasons:

    • Student wishes to drop a course due to changing their mind.

    • Change of schedule because of personal preference of lunch, study hall, or use of RP time.

  • Click Graduation Requirements for more information!

  • New Student at MHS

    Withdrawing from MHS

    • Students planning to withdraw from Monroe High School must obtain an Enrollment/Withdrawal Form from the Student Services Office at the high school or at the District Administrative Center on the third floor of the Monroe Public Library – 925 16th Avenue, Suite 3.  Students must also come to MHS Student Services to obtain an additional form to check out with their teachers.

  • SOAR - Find Your Future

    Career Exploration through Student Occupation & Academic Readiness (SOAR)

    Are you interested in exploring a career before you leave high school? At Monroe High School, we want to ensure students can make informed choices when it comes to their future career pathways. The SOAR program provides experience and knowledge about local, well-paying careers that fit students’ strengths and interests.

    Monroe’s SOAR program offers three options to give Junior and Senior students the opportunity to earn a fair wage while receiving hands-on training.

    Work Experience allows students who are currently employed to earn school credit for working instead of taking a class. Work Experience positions are existing entry-level jobs. Students are required to work 10 hours per week and provide bi-weekly proof of employment. Students provide their own transportation and may receive time during school to go to work. 

    SOAR Internships require a school year-long commitment and are offered by employers willing to provide a mentor to help students master the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for career success in their industry. Students apply for SOAR Internships and interview with participating businesses. As with Work Experience, students are required to work 10 hours a week, and they earn school credit for working instead of taking a class.

    Is SOAR for Every Student?

    Yes! The benefits of work-based learning are so varied that every kind of student can find tremendous value in it. For students joining the workforce after graduation, SOAR offers exploration of jobs and employers, along with hands-on opportunities for students to explore their career interests and develop necessary hard (technical) and soft (character) skills for future employment. 

    For college-bound students, SOAR can provide experiences that make college classes more meaningful, make higher education more affordable, and provide students with insight into what it will take to reach their career goals.

    The skills students learn through the SOAR program will be of benefit no matter what career they choose. Critical thinking, complex problem-solving, and data analysis are necessary skills in today’s workforce. Most importantly, SOAR experiences give students a chance to evaluate career options before they invest in higher education.

    SOAR is a win for business owners too. Youth Apprenticeships and internships offer a valuable tool to develop new employees and a pipeline of talented workers to help businesses grow.

    If you are interested in exploring careers through SOAR, please contact Cara Carper at (608) 328-7573 or email.

  • Similar to SOAR Internships (paid on-the-job learning, students apply and interview for the program, and great results depend on a good mentor) with the added bonus of earning certification from the State of Wisconsin in their chosen industry pathway. (Not all industries have a Youth Apprenticeship pathway. More are being developed every year.) Youth Apprenticeship students work a minimum of 450 hours (generally a school year plus a summer) while receiving related educational training through school. Students can start a Youth Apprenticeship as early as the summer before their Junior year and continue to graduation.

     

    Why Choose Youth Apprenticeship?
    Youth Apprenticeship (YA) gives high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to explore their chosen career path, and helps employers develop a qualified and committed workforce.

     

    Benefits of Youth Apprenticeships for Students
    A Youth Apprenticeship is a one or two year “earn while you learn” program for high school juniors and seniors consisting of work and related classroom instruction in a chosen occupation. Training is received on-the-job where the employer teaches the skills of the occupation. This is augmented by taking courses that are related to that occupation. No matter what the youth apprentice decides to do after high school, they will be more prepared for success because of their apprenticeship!

     

    Additional Benefits of Youth Apprenticeships

    • A PAYCHECK - From day one, you will earn a paycheck for your work.
    • HANDS-ON TRAINING - Receive practical on-the-job training in your chosen occupation.
    • AN EDUCATION - You will learn from both your job and classroom related instruction.
    • A CAREER - Youth Apprenticeship can lead to a fulfilling, long-term career.
    • CERTIFICATION - Earn an industry recognized completion certificate.

     

    Benefits of Youth Apprenticeships for Employers
    Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, highly successful and nationally recognized talent acquisition strategy in which employers hire high school juniors and seniors for a one or two-year Youth Apprenticeship. Employers provide mentored on-the-job training and evaluation of youth apprentices. Students pair courses related to the profession to enhance the on-the-job learning.

     

    Additional Employer Benefits of Youth Apprenticeship

    • Attract Better Applicants
    • More Loyal Employees
    • Benefit From Skilled Workers
    • Increase Safety
    • Become More Competitive
    • Instill Your Company's Values
