I enjoyed making lots of friends and partictipating in athletics. The teachers are very helpful and love talking to students. There is a wide variety of classes to take, so you have the ability to tailor your schedule towards your personal goals and interests. Mount Vernon itself is an extremely welcoming and safe community where anyone can fit in.
