Education The North White School Corporation (which also serves Buffalo and Reynolds) govern the three public schools in Monon: North White Primary, North White Intermediate, and North White Junior-Senior High School. The North White High School Indiana Academic Super Bowl teams set a state record in 2009 by being the third in history to qualify all six teams for state and the first in history to get five state championships and a runner-up all in the same year. The next year, North White had another good run with three state finalists. Two of those finalists were champions and one was runner-up. The town has a lending library, the Monon Town & Township Public Library. Sports history North White High School Vikings football coach Jim Davis led the Vikings to a 14–0 season and class 1A football state championship in 1994 by defeating Sheridan High School 34–7 at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis.

There is a large car show and a wide variety of vendors there with both food and items for sale. There is also live entertainment and pony rides.
