Monster High

Monster High is the titular location of the Monster High franchise, and serves as the main setting of the stories. It is located in New Salem. In most media, Monster High is a high school unique for being the only one open to all species of monsters. On top of that, it is not adverse to allowing humans to enroll (yet). To accommodate the many different needs of the students and to encourage people to enroll, Monster High possesses a large campus with many different facilities, including its own train station, and is open almost 24 hours a day.

In the AWA fics, Monster High is currently allied with the AWA.

History
Monster High was established a bit over 2000 years ago,[2]though this doesn't necessarily mean it has always been located where it is in modern day. The school's 'basement' is the catacombs, a large underground maze of neglected rooms and corridors, which appears to have existed well before Monster High was built on top of it. As well, below the pool of the school is a large chasm known as the Deep End, which interior is even more of a mystery to anyone than the catacombs are.

Monster High was founded as a joint effort by thirteen families of different monster lineages, all of whom had grown tired of the separation. Headless Headmistress Bloodgood, a teacher of excellent reputation, was asked to become Monster High's headmistress. Though she gladly accepted a leading role in the revolutionary project, her colleagues were not as enthusiastic. She lost many friends who considered her endeavor foolish, but stuck by what she believed in, aided by the thirteen families and the teachers who shared her philosophy. Notable events that are part of Monster High's history are the mysterious disappearance of one of the staff members, Irene Maiden, not long after Monster High's opening, and the haunting appearance of 'something awful' in the halls of Monster High during the nights of Friday the 13th.

While Monster High became a thriving school able to boast on a student body comprising monsters from 40 different countries and 5 dimensions, its philosophies inspired few outside school ground. Conflict between various species of monsters remained and no other school followed Monster High's example for many centuries, despite that the project enjoyed the support of the Skullastic Superintendents.

Recently, Monster High has gone through a merge with the vampire-only school Belfry Prep, and the werewolf-only school Crescent Moon High. The latter two schools have been absorbed into the Monster High identity. The merge counts as a first step in a more coordinated effort to spread the message of acceptance among all monster societies and eventually between a joint monster society and human society.

Two complementary sources of campus information exist in relation to Monster High. The institutional one is the Gory Gazette, the school newspaper, and the other is an individual project called The Ghostly Gossip, a gossip blog.

Organization
Most sport teams managed by the school in Generation 1 were called the "Monster High Nightmares". The skullball team is an exception, as they are called the "Monster High Sinister Skulls".

Layout
Generation 1 Monster High was composed of two separate areas: the campus above ground, and the catacombsunderground.
 * The campus area was coffin-shaped, and housed the main building, the outdoor sport fields, and overlapped with a forest and a swamp. The building contained two floors, with most of the classrooms located on the second floor so to make room for the indoor sport fields on the first floor. The entrance hall reached up into a belfry, where some students went if they needed time alone, and where a number of bats lived.

Unclaimed nearby portions of the catacombs were used for Creature Spotting, an activity promoted and hosted by Mr. Hackington.
 * Below the school were the catacombs, most of which was unused and unfamiliar terrain. Monster High had claimed the portion of the catacombs that ran directly under the campus, and used it to house facilities the school has no place for on its own terrain. There was an underground train station and a small passage that allowed zombies easy travel between their part of town and Monster High. Otherwise, three rooms were claimed by two students. Operetta has a soundproof recording studio in the catacombs, as well as her very own opera house. Meanwhile, C.A. Cupid had set up a radio station in the catacombs, from which she hosts her own show. Monster High's radio station can be found on frequency WZMH 13.13 FM. Unexpected Love Pierces Monster High Frankie Stein's father had also set up a lab down there at one point during his high school years. HooDude VooDoo

Staff
As per the spirit of Monster High, the school's Generation 1 staff consisted of a diverse selection of creatures from various backgrounds. Some had been with the school from the start, others were only recently employed. And not all teachers practiced the school's preaching of non-discrimination.
