The Lower School Activities Hall has been completely transformed by our Grade 5 students into an immersive celebration of creativity, collaboration, and student agency. 🎨✨
From wearable art and oversized installations to filmmaking, sound design, set creation, and storytelling, students led every part of this one-of-a-kind fashion and design experience. Working in fashion houses and production teams, they brought bold ideas to life while navigating collaboration, problem-solving, and creative risk-taking together.
More than an art installation, this project became a powerful glimpse into what students can accomplish when given trust, independence, and the space to create with purpose.

There’s a unique energy on campus this time of year. As we head into the final week of school, the days are filled with moments of joy, celebration, reflection, and plenty of excitement for what’s still to come.
From Field Day and Arts Showcases to MVees, Baccalaureate rehearsals, and the Senior Salute Parade, these traditions bring our community together in such meaningful ways.
They remind us that Mount Vernon is more than a place students attend. It’s a community built through shared experiences, lasting connections, and the everyday moments that students, families, and faculty create together.
One more week to celebrate all that this year has been. 💙...
The opportunity to be part of this story in a lasting, visible way is limited. With just 135 bricks remaining and reservations open through May 31, this final chapter of the campaign is quickly taking shape. Each brick will become part of a shared space where students gather, families connect, and milestones are celebrated.
What happens when you turn a school day into a canvas?
Last Friday, our Lower School stepped into Arts in Action Day, a full-day experience designed to move beyond performance and into process. From rhythm and movement to design, storytelling, and hands-on creation, students explored what it means to see themselves as artists.
Through time with visiting artists and immersive sessions, creativity became a way to connect, express, and make meaning.

Our Lower School celebrated Earth Day with curiosity, care, and action, from hearing from our Tree Club founding members to getting their hands in the soil planting seedlings to take home. A special thank you to @smurfitwestrockcompany for partnering with us in this meaningful experience.
Because when students connect to the world around them, lasting impact begins.
Today, we celebrate the Class of 2026 and the journeys that have led them to this moment. From early questions to final decisions, each path reflects courage, growth, and a whole lot of heart.
We are so proud of every senior for the way you’ve shown up, leaned in, and shaped what comes next.
And a huge thank you to our incredible College Counseling team for guiding, supporting, and championing our students every step of the way.
This week, the Upper School community came together to honor the dedication, growth, and achievements of our students. From book awards and prefect honors to cords, plaques, and pins, the ceremony celebrated excellence across every grade level.

What does it take to design a city of the future? Grade 6 students are stepping into the role of urban planners, exploring sustainability through real-world research, expert insights, and hands-on design. From field experiences across Atlanta to collaborative city-building, students are connecting ideas, asking bigger questions, and creating solutions that put people at the center.
The future isn’t something they’re waiting for. They’re already designing it. 🌍
For Bella Champney ’26, a four-sport athlete, the journey has been defined by both winning a state championship in soccer and navigating the challenges of tough losses in basketball. Through it all, one thing has remained constant, the joy of being with her teammates.
At Mount Vernon, athletics is about more than competition. It is about connection. Bella learned that the energy you bring matters. It shapes your team, your performance, and who you become. That mindset has influenced not only how she plays, but how she leads.
As a senior, Bella hopes to leave a legacy of positive leadership, showing what it means to lift others up and lead with intention. The culture she helped build will carry forward through her teammates and future Mustangs who will one day step onto the new field.
We are $1M away from making that possible. Help them step onto their field together. Give today. Link in bio to give....
What happens when students aren’t given a prompt, but a problem to solve?
@themvid_students stepped inside @inspirebrands and took on real challenges across @arbys, @baskinrobbins, and @bwwings. No script. No roadmap. Just curiosity, research, and bold thinking.
Eight weeks later, they were presenting their ideas in a boardroom to executives and redefining what student work can look like.
This is learning, reimagined.

For Dante Romagnoli ’26, captain of the varsity boys soccer team, this season has been defined by resilience. A belief, reinforced by his coach, that no matter the moment, the next opportunity is always ahead.
That mindset has empowered a team that has grown, battled, and built something of their own. A program they are proud of. A team that has earned respect and now steps onto the field ready to compete, not just participate.
Tomorrow, they play for the region championship.
Dante’s message to future Mustangs is simple: give it your all, because it will give it all back to you.
Through the Let’s Do This campaign, we are creating the spaces and opportunities for more students to build something of their own, to compete, to grow, and to belong.
We are $1M away from the finish line. Help us give our all to future Mustangs....
Through the Grade 5 Summit, learning comes to life beyond the classroom. With purposeful design, expert insight, and collaboration across divisions, students move beyond assignments to create real impact.
This story is one example. What began as a love of soccer grew into something much bigger, a catalyst for connection, a platform for generosity, and a reminder that joy and purpose often go hand in hand.
Decisions are out, and now comes the question… where will you belong?
We asked our students how they knew they belonged at Mount Vernon.
Their answers say it all. A community that welcomes you in. Teachers who truly know and support you. Friends who make you feel seen, included, and valued.
At Mount Vernon, belonging isn’t something you find later, it starts on day one.
The best part of her day? Being on the field with her team.
For Mollie Martin ’26, softball has always been about joy. The joy of practice. The joy of competing. The joy of being with her teammates. She didn’t always know where the sacrifice and commitment would take her, but she knew she loved the game.
Recruited early in her high school career, Mollie committed as a sophomore to play collegiate softball at Sewanee: The University of the South, becoming one of the youngest Mount Vernon student-athletes to reach this milestone. She found a path that allows her to keep playing the sport she loves, on her own terms.
Her story is one of pure joy in the game, and a reminder that every student deserves the chance to discover what they love and pursue it fully. Right now, many students do not have that opportunity due to limited space.
Through the Let’s Do This campaign, we are working to change that. We are creating the spaces that open more doors, so more students can find their path, their team, and their love of the game.
We are $1M away from the finish line. Help us create more opportunities for students to play, grow, and belong. Link in bio to support Let’s Do This....
As we celebrate Easter, we are reminded of a story rooted in love, grace, and the promise of new life. It is a season that calls us to live with hope, extend kindness, and care deeply for one another.
Wishing our community a peaceful and hope-filled Easter. 💐...
It’s Decision Day! 🎉 Today is about more than an answer, it’s the beginning of a journey.
“You should come to Mount Vernon because…” Our students shared what makes this place special: friendships, support, teachers who see you, and the chance to grow into who you’re meant to be.
To our newest Mustangs, we’re so glad you’re here. Your journey of purpose starts now....
What does it really mean to learn a language? Not from a textbook—but by living it.
From navigating daily conversations to building real relationships, Mount Vernon students spent five weeks fully immersed in life in France through the Global Exchange Program. What started with uncertainty turned into confidence, connection, and a whole new perspective on the world.
This is learning you can’t replicate in a classroom. 🇫🇷✨ Link in bio to read their story.
From the classroom to the Capitol. Dr. Schewe’s AP Government students stepped inside Georgia’s Senate, connecting with state leaders and watching the legislative process unfold in real time.
The experience didn’t just bring learning to life, it sparked new questions about how government works, who it serves, and the decisions that shape our communities....
Students across every division came together to celebrate Holi, the vibrant festival of color that honors renewal, joy, and community.
With a special visit from the Kruti Academy Dance Troupe, students explored traditional attire, dance elements, and the meaning behind Holi, brought to life through dynamic performances full of energy and storytelling.
The experience culminated in a joyful Gulal celebration, as students stepped into the tradition firsthand, celebrating together across campus.
4 weeks until Mustang Rally 🎉 Our biggest community celebration of the year is almost here—Friday, April 24! Think carnival rides, games, great food, and all the energy that makes this day so special.
Pro tip: grab your wristbands, tickets, and Family 4-Pack Meals early to skip the lines and make the most of your day.
Family Sponsorships are still available (and include all the fun), or level up to a Carnival Sponsor for a reserved tent space just for your crew.
In Grade 7 Science, it means being able to redesign it.
Through a transdisciplinary approach blending science, humanities, and design, students didn’t just learn about cells, they reimagined them. From circuses to iPhones, each analogy revealed a deeper level of thinking, connection, and creativity.
This is what happens when learning moves beyond memorization. Read more at the campus stories link in our bio!
At just 10 years old, Abby Medford (Class of 2031) was already competing alongside older athletes—playing up, leading with confidence, and setting her sights on the @lpga_tour.
That kind of drive doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built through access, opportunity, and belief.
With $1M to go in the Let’s Do This Campaign, we have the chance to create even more pathways for students like Abby.
Let’s finish what we started. Link in bio to support Let’s Do This....
