Monrovia high school is a great school we don't have much diversity though and my senior year with was 2025 our school district went bankrupt this caused a lot of teachers to get fired, some programs might get cut and one of our middle schools is closing. I've loved the memories I've created here overall.

I will always remember my time spent at Monrovia High School. Every year since my freshman year has been such an amazing experience. Meeting new friends and learning with amazing teachers who care about their students made MHS feel like a second home. Spending time with not only my friends but my tennis team has made my Highschool memorable. Even the hardships such as homework and studying for exams, MHS never once made me doubt my abilities to achieve greatness.

Monrovia High School is where you send your kid for an average high school experience. It is a very boring school and does not create much excitement to attend. The teachers are decent, but some do not care about their job. It also seems like between security things are a hot mess and need to be sorted out and put strict rules in place. I would love if there were a change to how the rules worked and if they didn't randomly come up with them.

Put 3 kids through MHS, all had a wonderful experience and went on to college. The new renovations make this school one of the most beautiful in the county;now rivals San Marino, and the football team gets more recognition every year.
