Math & Science Academy

The MHS Math & Science Academy

The MHS Math & Science Academy (MASA) is flourishing at Monrovia High School. MASA is a comprehensive, four-year high school curriculum at MHS for students interested in pursuing math and sciences as a career pathway.

MASA includes over 300 students, five teachers, and two dedicated counselors. MASA also has multiple programs like Robotics, Rocketry, and MASA Mentors.

In 2015, MASA was awarded the California School Board Association Golden Bell Award, which promotes excellence in education and school board governance by recognizing outstanding programs. In 2014, MASA received the California Gold Ribbon Schools Award from the State Department of Education to highlight exceptional educational programs. As a result of this distinct honor, MHS proudly displays the Gold Ribbon seal on its facade facing Colorado Boulevard.

MASA Mentors

MASA Mentors is a leadership program that all MASA students are welcome to join. Our MASA students plan a math or science based lesson (including teaching content and a hands - on activity), and then travel to all 5 of our local elementary schools and teach that workshop to their 4th and 5th grade students. This is a wonderful experience for both our MASA students and our elementary school students! Contact Mrs. Ford to join!
