Mount Vernon STEAM Academy students traveled to Nelson Mandela/Dr. Hosea Zollicoffer School on Thursday, October 24, 2024, to teach elementary children about financial management. The high school students taught their younger peers using lessons and teaching strategies they learned through Junior Achievement High School Heroes Program.

Students in High School Heroes complete practice lessons before visiting schools throughout the District and gaining real experience as a teacher. School Counselor Toni-Ann Trombetta oversees the program at STEAM and works with the students to prepare them for their first time teaching others.

Community Message - School Building Reconfiguration

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.
