The Tri-Insure Community Fitness Center is scheduled to open on January 3, 2017. The Monticello Sports Boosters began fundraising to transform the weight room into a community fitness center in the spring of 2016, and with the help of many generous community donations, it is ready to provide Monticello with a beautiful and functional facility.

The hours for Monticello School District residents and alumni will be Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m.-7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. During the month of January, a staff member will be there to do a required orientation of the facility. After January, new user orientation will be by appointment only.
