Mount Vernon City School District
In 2016, the Mount Vernon School District received public support for the funding of its 20/20 Vision. The approved bond supported full day Pre-K and converted district elementary schools into Kindergarten through eighth grade learning centers.
The 20/20 Vision created three unique high schools of excellence.
​
Mount Vernon High School offers both Career and Technology, and an International Baccalaureate Program. The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Academy will teach 9th-12th graders. The district houses a Performing Arts Program for 6th-12th graders at the Nellie A. Thornton School.
​
Collaboratively, the Mount Vernon Educational Foundation and the Mount Vernon School District will enrich the students' learning experiences.
