Monroe County Schools

On Monday, October 20, 2025, a mock disaster drill will take place at James Monroe High School.

This training exercise is part of our district's ongoing commitment to emergency preparedness and student safety. During the drill, you may see an increased presence of emergency vehicles and personnel on and around the school campus. Please know that this is a scheduled and controlled exercise—there is no cause for concern.

These drills allow our schools, first responders, and community partners to practice coordinated response procedures, ensuring we are well-prepared for a real emergency.

We appreciate your understanding, cooperation, and continued support as we work together to ensure the safety of our schools.

If you have any questions, please contact the Monroe County Schools district office.
