We strive to create a challenging learning environment that promotes high expectations for the success of all students through best practices that allow for individual learning styles. We recognize, embrace, and celebrate the diversity of our school family. We promote a safe, caring, and supportive environment and do our very best to encourage each of our students to always be the best they can be in every situation and environment. We are proud to be called the Monee Mustangs!

We believe "Ambitious Instruction" is focused on mastery of reading, writing, and mathematical skills through high-quality instruction programs and practices.
