Monrovia Education
SMART THINKING
Monrovia Unified School District (MUSD) is a K-12 district nestled in the San Gabriel Foothills in a region known as the “Foothill Corridor.” The District operates Bradoaks, Monroe, Wild Rose, Plymouth, and Mayflower Elementary Schools; Clifton and Santa Fe Middle Schools; Monrovia High School and Canyon Oaks High School; Canyon Early Learning Center; Monrovia Adult School; ROP programs; and Mountain Park School.
Monrovia Unified is an ethnically and culturally diverse district. The student population has educational needs that cover a broad spectrum. MUSD provides strong programs to help all students succeed and achieve, from preschool development programs to SAT preparation for college admission. Here are some examples of the instructional program:
In 2006, Wild Rose Elementary became the 6th district school honored with a California Distinguished School Award. Both Plymouth and Wild Rose Elementary schools received the National Achieving Schools Award for the extraordinary academic performance of their students.
• A year-round program is available at Plymouth Elementary School.
• The Monrovia chapter of Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) is one of the largest and most active in the state, producing many competition winners.
• The Language Arts program at Santa Fe Middle School was selected as being tops in the state.
• Clifton Middle School was the only middle school in the nation to participate in the Sandia National Laboratory simulation project.
• Students from both middle schools participated in the Hubble Telescope downlink, viewing on-the-spot photos of Pluto and electronically communicating with the Goddard Space Center and NASA.
The partnership shared with the schools, City and the Chamber of Commerce bring all community resources together for the benefit of the students. Thousands of adults and older teenagers are served annually by the community’s adult school classes that provide everything from high school completion courses to vocational training. The adult school, through its computer and business education classes, also serves as a major resource to the Monrovia business community, providing cost-effective employee training assistance.
Like the community itself, Monrovia’s public schools have a long and proud history.
With the passing of a recent bond, the Monrovia High School campus will receive a major upgrade. A first priority is a new science lab building to bring the facility into the 21st century. Other improvements will include modernized classrooms, a new regulation-size gym, a permanent stadium structure for Wildcat Field, a new or improved ceramics/fine arts building, and an upgraded library/media center and auditorium.
In addition, every school in the Monrovia Unified School District over the last few years has undergone modernization and repair.
Quality education continues to earn Monrovia Schools many prestigious awards because the school district provides challenging programs, safe campuses and friendly, direct and respectful interaction for its many students.
