Monarch High

March 2025

Our $15.3 million renovation project will kick off this month. The improvements coming to our school are the result of the support from the entire BVSD community through passage of the 2022 BVSD Bond Referendum.  

In addition to much needed repairs and upgrades to building systems and finishes, the project will include improvements to athletic facilities, auditorium upgrades, new flooring in most areas and significant renovations to our career and technical education spaces. Check out the highlights below for more details: 

• Replace overhead doors in each academic wing with double swinging doors

• Auditorium improvements, including: 
  • New carpet
  • Seating repairs
