I am excited to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome back to school for the upcoming academic year. I would like to welcome both our new and returning families to Monomoy Regional High School, a school where strong relationships between home, school, and our communities have been integral to our success.  

There is often a wide range of emotions with any new school year, but MRHS will ensure it is offering opportunities for academic excellence, personal development, and a wide range of authentic learning experiences. Our dedicated faculty and staff have carefully planned engaging lessons that align with our philosophical belief that each student who graduates from Monomoy Regional High School will have the necessary skills to successfully navigate a college or career environment in the 21st Century. Our students will be prepared to think critically, persevere to overcome challenges, communicate effectively, and understand their responsibility as a global citizen.

To the students of MRHS, I am excited to see you and look forward to your presence, energy, leadership, and passion for our Monomoy communities and beyond. I challenge you to set new goals, embrace new opportunities for growth, and most importantly, enjoy every moment of your academic and personal journey.

Respectfully,

Jennifer L. Police, 
Proud Principal of MRHS
