Monarch High School

Posted September 18, 2009

Any High School is what YOU make it. If you want to get involved there is plenty of clubs/activities to join. If you want to take drugs, you will find a way to do that no matter what high shool you go to--even Boulder schools. I've already sent two students through this school and I plan to send a third next year. Neither were athletes, but they were involved in the excellent music program and other activities. They would tell you, if asked, that they very much enjoyed their years at MO-HI and had a lot of great friends--who like themselves were not involved in drugs. They did not experience any bullying either. The academics are right up there with Boulder(both my kids were admitted to their first choice colleges). As a matter of fact, I even volunteered in the Post-Grad center for a number of years.

Monarch is an awful school. There is a pervasive culture of bullying that flows through both the teacher and student population. I have been very disappointed by the response of the administration and faculty time after time. If you are considering Monarch as a school, look elsewhere.

I have two children who graduated from Monarch High School, an both are excelling in college (highly rated universities). Both received scholarships from several great schools, and both are well-adjusted, well-prepared, and happy in their college experiences. You can find kids who drink, smoke pot, swear, screw around, etc. However, my kids had friends who were respectful, insanely intelligent, well-grounded, highly engaged in many activities and accomplished with many awards. Most importantly, they were happy, motivated and felt a part of the student body. Schools are not four walls-they are what you make them to be. There are always good teachers and less-capable teachers. Every school has them. However, the poor teachers my older child had at Monarch (one I can think of), were no longer there when my younger child began school. I strongly recommend this school to any family who wants a strong academic and well-rounded education.

My kid loves this school and the people who work there are the best. Programs are top-notch including academics, drama, music, and athletics.
