A number of art classes are offered in Mt. Vernon High School (MVHS). 

 

 

DRAMA

The fall and spring musical performances at MVHS showcase the incredible acting and music talent our students have. Occasionally, the performances will feature some middle school or elementary school students. These shows are simply incredible, and have featured students flying over the audience in "Mary Poppins," as well as actual rain water falling as a backdrop. A number of backdrop and production opportunities are available to students as well.
