(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am a Social Studies Ed major at a local University and I have been observing classes at Monroe High this semester. I think the school is great. Staff members are alert, caring, qualified. Some of the best in my opinion. The school is in good condition and has some of the best resources in the county. The student body is excellent also. Students I have taught and encountered in my field experience have been very respectful and bright.
