Reaching Academic Excellence

The Upper School recently held its Winter Honors Assembly to honor and recognize students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement during fall semester. All students who attained Honor Roll or Head of School List were recognized. Mount Vernon is truly blessed with an exceptional student body that embraces academic rigor, strives for excellence in all areas of endeavor, and demonstrates the Mount Vernon mind.
This year’s star student and star teacher were publicly announced at this assembly. Congratulations to Joseph Martin and to Dr. Tom Rounds for earning this esteemed achievement.
Also during this assembly, Dr. Brett Jacobsen announced the establishment of the Marsha Powell Fund in honor of Marsha Powell’s retirement this year. What a blessing it has been for Mount Vernon to have such an impactful faculty member for 36 years.
