News & Announcements

Good Evening Monrovia Community,

Clifton Middle School seemed like the center of the news world this morning. I want to publicly thank the educators at Clifton who, in a calm and caring manner, provided a sense of stability to our students throughout the day. Navigating a parade of news vans on the way to school could not have been comforting. I’d also like to thank our Board of Education for their frontline leadership in meeting parents and the media at Clifton this morning. The day was as productive as it could have been despite the many absences.

Dear Monrovia Unified Community,
