Admission Requirements

Criteria for Falcon Academy Enrollment

Monroe County High School Falcon Academy was created many years ago to accommodate students in many different facets behaviorally, academically, and emotionally to make them successful students.  However, when the Falcon Academy was designed it was modeled to have specific requirements before students could be enrolled.  In order for a student to be enrolled in one of our programs, the following 3 steps must be followed:

• Communication is made to Falcon Academy Principal by referring school Administrator ;

• Falcon Academy Referral form is filled out and sent to the Falcon Academy principal; and

• Intake meeting with Falcon Academy principal, referring administrator, parent, and student (along with any other district administrators that may be needed) to discuss reason for placement and length of stay (varies depending program and circumstance)

The Falcon Academy offers three very unique programs.  

1. We operate a high school virtual program that accommodates career-ready upperclassmen by allowing them to hold jobs and be successful students and citizens.  Those criteria are posted here on the website.  

2. We also operate a credit recovery program that allows high school students to make up credits and get on track to graduate.  Those criteria are also listed here on the website.  

3. Lastly, and often most importantly, Falcon Academy operates a discipline program that was designed to give students who have continuous discipline issues an opportunity to stay in school and get back on the right track; and most importantly to help them make better decisions.  The criteria for discipline enrollment are as follows:

• Documentation MUST be in Infinite Campus to show that all avenues of discipline have been exalted before Falcon Academy placement is considered.

  • For example: (this is just 1 example of many)

     Disrespect/Defiance/Insubordination, Rude Behavior

1st offense-1 full day of AEP/in-school suspension

2nd offense-2 full days of AEP/in-school suspension and parent conference

3rd offense-multiple days in AEP/in-school suspension, parent conference, and

FA referral 

     Falcon Academy placement would be left up to the administration's discretion on

     timeframe and depends on the severity of the issues; the final length of placement is

     the decision of the Falcon Academy principal

Per district policy there are some behaviors that require automatic Falcon Academy placements; but the referral form, IC documentation, and communication are still required.  Such as:

• Possession/Under the Influence of Alcohol or Illegal drugs

• Possession with Intent to sell/transfer/procurement/traffic of alcohol or illegal drugs

• Threats/Verbal/Written (depending on nature) 10 day placement

For any Falcon Academy placement, communication with Falcon Academy principal needs to be had before any length of placement has been given to a student.  The final decision on length of placement is left up to the Falcon Academy principal.  Due to the size of our building, availability may be limited at times; in those cases, Monroe Co. High School will have first priority to those slots.  We offer amazing programs here at Falcon Academy (MCHS) and we appreciate the support we get from the administration here at MCHS and at the district level.  We always recommend communicating regularly with us if you foresee needing Falcon Academy services for your students.
