We are beyond proud to announce that three of our outstanding students have received a prestigious invitation from the Governor to be recognized as Arkansas Scholastic Honor Students! 🎓✨
Being selected for this honor is a testament to their relentless hard work, academic excellence, and dedication to their futures. They aren’t just top-tier students; they are leaders who represent the very best of our school and community.
Joining the Governor at the state capitol is a huge milestone, and we couldn't be more excited to see where their hard work takes them next. 🏛️👏

Hi Monticello School District Families,
We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Rooms, built right into our Monticello Billies School app, offers secure and safe two-way messaging.
This addition allows Monticello School to bring the community closer together. From messages to educators, to events, to lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.
Why Rooms?
One place for every message. No more juggling multiple communication apps, flipping between inboxes, or remembering different logins.
Text notifications. You’ll get notified automatically of new messages even if you haven’t downloaded our district app.
Safe and secure. Built-in moderation and other safety tools allow us to ensure safety of all communications, at all times.
What to Expect:
Rooms will become our primary method for all communication between staff, coaches, families, and teachers.
Rooms will be live and ready for messaging with educators in August for the 2026-27 school year.
We’re excited to bring our communication into one clear, connected experience for you.
Sandra Lanehart
Superintendent, Monticello School District

Please come to see the 7th-12th grade choirs showcase their talent.




Just a quick reminder: there will be no school next Friday, May 1. We hope all of our students, teachers, and families enjoy the extra-long weekend!















Our MMS book club took a field trip to MES today to serve as guest readers, and it was pure magic. It’s easily our favorite activity of the year so far! Our members were total pros—reading, laughing, and engaging with the kindergarteners perfectly.
