Our history

Picture

Located in Monroe, Michigan, Monroe Catholic Elementary School (MCES) is an extension of the catechetical and educational mission of the Eucharistic communities of St. Mary Parish, St. John the Baptist Parish, and St. Michael the Archangel Parish. MCES was formed in 2012 as a collaborative educational effort by the parishes to strengthen and ensure the rich tradition of Catholic elementary education in the city of Monroe.   MCES is an innovative co-educational, inter-parish school model that shares Christ in and through the Church via its Catholic day school programs serving a wide range of children from infants to students in Grade 8. 

St. John the Baptist School
St. John School was opened in 1917 by the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM)  order from Monroe. 
St. Mary School
In 1846 the IHM Sisters started the first diocesan school organized outside of Detroit and affiliated with the newly dedicated Church of St. Mary.
