Mount Vernon City School District:
Dear Mount Vernon Families and Community Members:
As you are aware, the Mount Vernon City School District is weighing options for a school building reorganization. Our most recent plans will be presented at our next town hall on Friday, December 6, 2024, at Graham School and on Zoom. While no decisions have been made, our Reorganization Committee must make a difficult choice. Our most recent discussions have considered the closures of Cecil H. Parker School, Mount Vernon Honor Academy and Mount Vernon Leadership Academy.
(continued)
All eighth-grade students interested in attending the Mount Vernon STEAM Academy (MVSA) for the 2025-2026 school year will take the PreACT entrance exam on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
