The Monroe City R-1 School District is proud to welcome Mr. Chris Willingham to the Panther Family as the district’s new Middle School Principal, beginning the 2026–27 school year.
Mr. Willingham brings years of valuable administrative experience to the role, most recently serving as Middle School and High School Principal in the Paris School District. His leadership, commitment to student success, and focus on building strong school cultures make him an excellent fit for Monroe City R-1 and its continued commitment to excellence.
“We are excited to welcome Mr. Willingham to our district,” said Tony DeGrave, Superintendent of Schools. “His experience and dedication to middle school education will serve our students, staff, and community well as we continue to move forward.”
The district would also like to extend its sincere gratitude to Mr. Troy Patterson, who will be retiring at the end of this school year after years of dedicated service as Middle School Principal. Mr. Patterson’s leadership and commitment to students have left a lasting impact on the school and community.
“We thank Mr. Patterson for his years of service and leadership,” DeGrave added. “He has made a meaningful difference in the lives of countless students, and we wish him the very best in his well-earned retirement.”
