We live in a global economy that requires our students to be prepared to think both critically and creatively, evaluate massive amounts of information, solve complex problems, and communicate well. A strong foundation in reading, writing, math, and other core subjects is still as important as ever, yet by itself is insufficient for lifelong success.At Monroe, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is part of everyday learning.  By exposing our students to STEM and giving them opportunities to explore STEM-related concepts, we are enabling them to acquire 21st century skills helping them become global competitive citizens.

Students at Monroe participate in General classroom music from Kindergarten through 4th grade.  Beginning in 5th grade, students have the choice to participate in Band or Choir.  From 6th-8th grade, these options expand to include Jazz Band, Pep Band, and Advanced Vocal Ensembles.  Music students are constantly being engaged through classroom learning as well as public performance at concerts, festivals, contests, clinics, and community service events such as athletic events and performing at fundraisers.  The Monroe Music program receives incredible support from our school and community and services over 50% of the Junior High student population.  In 2018, Monroe finished a renovation on our music facilities to combine two existing classrooms into a larger rehearsal space to better accommodate the larger groups.  In this new space, individual instrument lockers were installed for students and three practice room spaces for individual and small group work.
