Principal's Message

Dear Montrose Community, 

I am both honored and excited to introduce myself as the principal of the Montrose Area Jr/Sr high school.  As I step into this role, I am filled with a deep sense of enthusiasm and commitment to contribute positively to the ongoing success and growth of our school. 

A bit about me: I have been in education for 19 years, with experience in various roles ranging from counselor, teacher and assistant principal and principal. My journey has been driven by a passion for fostering an environment where students can thrive academically, socially, emotionally and athletically. 

One of my core beliefs is that a successful school community is built on collaboration and open communication. I am eager to partner with our dedicated faculty, engaged parents, and talented students to continue the tradition of excellence that Montrose Area is known for. Together, we will strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to achieve their best. 

Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I am excited about the journey ahead and am committed to making Montrose Area a place where all students can grow, succeed, and feel a strong sense of belonging. 

Warm regards, 

Terrence M. Whalen 
Principal
