The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has been helping schools recognize outstanding seniors in the metro area for 89ย years, with the AJC Cup. This annual award is given to a single senior,ย per school, who exhibitsย leadership abilities across many disciplines, including community activities, service, athletics, and academic achievement.
Mount Vernon Upper School teachers and administrators selected this year’s senior recipient for her extensive community service, her enthusiasm and passion for the school, as well as her leadership as a Prefect and as a National Honor Society Officer. She has been a member or captain of an athletic team every year at Mount Vernon and can be seen on campus year round volunteering her time to support school events or supporting her friends in their endeavors. She works collaboratively with her peers, teachers, parents, and the community. A Mustang from the very start, Caroline Corley is a student who pushes herself to go beyond expectations and has proven to be a hard-working, exceptional student. We are proud to celebrateย our “Best All Around Senior”, Caroline Corley, winner of theย AJC Trophy Cup.
