Monticello High School is making strides in connecting students and creating an accepting community. 

Principal Travis Courson told the Hart Media Group on the WHOW High School Road Tour Monday that they have created a course they call "Unified P.E." He says this pairs general education students up with life skills students in a comfortable and fun setting. 

Courson feels that the most valuable part of the program is the social benefit, for both the gen-ed and life skills students. He notes that they see a lot of growth in students through this program. 

The High School is taking steps towards better preparing juniors educationally and emotionally as they get ready to take the SATs, and we will have more on that with Courson in the days ahead from the Hart Media Group.
