After graduating from Middlebury College with a BA in Biology, Mrs. Conroy began teaching mathematics in 1986 at The Indian Mountain School.

Mrs. Conroy lives on campus in Pitcher House with her husband, Mark and their children Kristina and Kevin. Both Kristina ‘10 and Kevin ’12 are proud Williston graduates and currently attend Middlebury College. During Monique’s spare time, she loves spending time traveling with her family, cheering on all her favorite teams (Williston, Middlebury College woman’s basketball and of course the 2013 World Champion Boston Red Sox!) and running. Mark and Monique have spent their last 25 summers recharging at their island home on Islesboro in Penobscot Bay, Maine.
