Great job at helping the student to succeed. Promote a safe environment for the staff as well as the students. Great teachers that love the students and want them to learn. I just wish the parents would join in with the school to help them promote a safe learning environment.

Monroe is a very powerful school for so many reason. For one the school is the first black school in Albany Georgia . Our principal "Mr. Polite " reminds us everyday to be patient, polite , prompt , prepared , present when coming to school . He is very concerned about our futures .
