Senior Newsletter

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to remind everyone that Senior Tag and Senior Pranks are not school-sponsored events and are not permitted on school grounds at any time—before, during, or after school. This does include ALL athletic facilities.

While we understand the excitement of senior traditions, any participation in these activities on school property will result in consequences. Our priority is to maintain a safe and respectful learning environment for all students and staff.

We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a positive and memorable end to the school year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

In the recent district newsletter, Senior Awards Night was incorrectly listed as taking place on Thursday, May 22. The correct date for the ceremony is Monday, May 19.

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and look forward to celebrating our seniors on the correct date.

Mount Vernon High School senior Micah Evans was recently recognized as the MVHS recipient of the Exchange Club ACE (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) Award. This honor celebrates students who have overcome personal challenges to achieve academic and personal success.

"Micah is a huge success story and I am so proud of him. Watching him win that award gave me pure joy! In my 10 years of teaching, watching him win that award was the best day by far," said Nate Hunt, MVHS Intervention Specialist.

Micah was among six students from across Knox County selected by their respective schools to receive the award, presented by the Exchange Club of Mount Vernon.

This event will take place on Wednesday, May 14. It is set to begin at 6:00 at the Ariel Arena (MVNU).

Moving forward, Students are awarded an Academic Letter for the following:

• Freshman-3.8 CUM GPA (weighted) or greater-Thru 1 Semester

• Sophomores-3.7 CUM GPA (weighted) or greater-Thru 3 Semesters

• Juniors-3.6 CUM GPA (weighted) or greater-Thru 5 Semesters

• Seniors-3.5 GPA (weighted) or greater-Thru 7 Semesters

There is no application process. The school will run a report to identify those students who qualify.

To kick off the year properly, Mount Vernon High School is launching TWO INTERNATIONAL TRIPS for 2026. You can sign up using the links below to learn more information about each trip.
