- When Melrose School joined Miles Macdonell, all the junior high students came to this new school
- Munroe Junior High wears its history for all to see: the original section is highlighted as the main entrance even though newer sections dwarf it; all parts of the school are well-kept by the nearby RETSD board offices
- The 1960 section along Roch St. on the west is three storeys of classrooms with grey finish, while no attempt was made to match a later addition to the rear, faced in a red brick
- A large banner on the west side of the school proclaims that Munroe is a 'proud to be a UNESCO related school
