The Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation is pleased to share and congratulate the third cohort of MV Ambassadors on their graduation. The special group of community members learn behind-the-scenes information about Mt. Vernon operations and programming in eight meetings throughout the school year. MV Ambassadors are empowered with school knowledge about every department and become a resource for the community.

MV Ambassadors attend one Tuesday morning meeting per month from August through April, excluding December. In order to graduate they are asked to miss no more than one meeting throughout the school year. In these meetings, Ambassadors gain special insights into school operations and the interworkings of the different departments and programs, including transportation, finance, special education, technology, high ability and more. 

The Ambassador program is designed to help people be a resource of Mt. Vernon knowledge for friends and the community. Dialogue with school leaders and providing feedback are part of the experience. Anyone in the community is welcome to apply to be a 2024-2025 MV Ambassador; having a student at Mt. Vernon is not a requirement.

“We are so grateful for our supportive Mt. Vernon community, and this exemplary group of Ambassadors demonstrated their dedication and true commitment of time as they learned about operating a school district and how each department plays a key role,” said Maria Bond, Director of Community Relations. “It is a true joy empowering our community with additional knowledge that expands their pride in our school system.” 

Throughout the year, Ambassadors are also encouraged to support our community in a variety of ways, including bringing non-perishable donations for local food pantries, attending one athletic event and a cocurricular event, shadowing a principal (or assistant principal) for a walk-through and observing a classroom (not in their child's school), or attend one Board of Trustees meeting. 

MVCSC would like to congratulate these 22 MV Ambassador graduates! Thank you for your dedication to learning more about the Mt. Vernon community!
