Mount Vernon School District (MVSD) seeks to graduate inspired critical thinkers who honor diversity and are committed to the betterment of their own lives and the lives of others.

Therefore, MVSD commits to eliminate all forms of discrimination and inequity in order to provide safe and productive learning opportunities for every student.
