The question above was posed by local business leaders at the Morgan County Economic Development Committee. These business leaders have issues with graduates of Morgan County schools as employees. Local graduates allegedly have poor punctuality and interpersonal skills. Morgan County school districts (Eminence, Martinsville, Monrovia and Mooresville) collaborated to deliver a presentation on what they are doing to prepare their graduates. What did Monrovia High School have to say? For starters, we have expanded our opportunities with the Ben Davis Area 31 program. Students can study a broad range of courses that Monrovia does not have the facilities to operate.We also have included a bio-medical course to prepare students for the medical field. In the future there may be a push for more classes like this to be offered. As far as punctuality, Monrovia High School assistant principal Mr. Smith is on the case. He wants to make sure that we learn to be timely in order to be better prepared for the workforce. To do this he is keeping better track of first period tardies. In short, our school has been pushing us to succeed.
