AIM program provides $52k to students
July 12, 2016

For the second consecutive trimester, 59 Monroe High School students achieved their Allies in Monroe (AIM) scholastic goals, earning $200 each for their successful efforts.  In all, MHS students earned nearly $12,000 for their third trimester achievements.

     The AIM program – the only one of its kind established now in Monroe County – has completed its second year at MHS.  The program, designed to be an incentive and mentoring program, already has demonstrated several of its goals in only two years of existence.  It has enhanced student achievement, increased the number of students furthering their education after high school and improved student-staff-community relationships, 

     Each student participating has a mentor called an ‘Ally” who works with and encourages the student to reach an at-least 15-percent increase in their grade point average each trimester.  More than 80 percent of the MHS teachers and staff, as well as a growing number of MPS teachers in various schools, mentor a student in the AIM program.  The program also has benefitted from a growing number of employees of local companies participating.

     In the six trimesters that AIM has been at MHS, more than 260 students achieved their goals.  In only two years, the program has paid out more than $52,000 to students. 

     Although a Monroe High School program, AIM cannot be supported with district money.  MHS teacher David Henry is the AIM program coordinator.  Persons, business or groups interested in supporting the program are asked to contact Mr. Henry at 734-265-3612. 

     Here are the students who successfully reached their AIM goals during the third trimester of the 2015-16 school year:  Jina Alley, Dane Bezeau, Angel Blake, Kristen Bolster, Madisen Boylan, Nick Bunch, Arianna Bunch, Zyonna Burris, Marcus Carey, Hope Cousino, Procopio Cusumano, Caitlin Daniels, Nya Davis, Joshua Dominguez, Taylor Ellison, Adrian Finney, Jaleene Frayer, Tyson Grant, Rachel Guimond, Brandon Gulley, Michael Harden, Madisyn Hardy, Eric Helberg, Kylee Heringhausen, Dante Holiday, Olivia Krueger, Jacob LaBeau, Ali LaFountain, Juan Marquez, Orlando Matos-Cruz, Ashley McKenzie, Johnathan McNamee, Bailey Meadows, Alexandria Merrill, Trevor Michaelis, Jacob Micheaux, Alexander Miler, Gustavo Miranda, Anthony Mora, Peyton Moran, Allyson Meyers, Erin Nichols, Tevin Nichols, Brendan Russeau, Desiree Russell, Heaven Scaggs, Brenden Scheffler, Logan Schneeman, Jordan Self, Kayla Shankleton, James Sivils, Alex Staffeld, Skylar Sortor, Sierra Sucharski, Kathryn Thornton, Anna Traver, Lauren VanKlingeren, Kaylee Watters and Khamrii Wilson.AIM
