Good day Majors!

Members of the Class of 2026, you have reached the end! Your final official days of classes comes to an end on Wednesday. We are just over one week away from graduation ceremonies at George Mason University and we are excited for you!

Here is our schedule for the week. Class of 2026, please refer to the senior page on the MVHS website for the full schedule of senior activities and upcoming events. For underclassmen, stay focused - your opportunity to walk the stage is closer than you think! Finish strong - final exams begin the week of June 8th.

Eid Mubarak to all who observe! Eid al-Adha, or the “Feast of Sacrifice,” is the second of two main holidays celebrated in Islam. Muslims believe that Eid al-Adha signifies the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim, known as Abraham in Christianity and Judaism, to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as ordered by Allah. It focuses on sacrifice, the pilgrimage to Mecca and giving to those less fortunate.

Tuesday, May 26, is a teacher work day. There is no school for students. See the complete school year calendar. https://www.fcps.edu/calendars/standard-school-year-calendar

Today we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, the fallen soldiers of American wars.

Good day Majors!

We have reached the last week of May and the school year is quickly coming to a close.

Here is the schedule for the week of May 25th. It is a short week for classes.

Tomorrow is the Memorial Day holiday. We thank all who served for our freedom and protection! Tuesday is a student holiday / teacher work day. Eid Mubarak to all who observe Eid Al Adha on Wednesday.

Enjoy the rest of this long weekend and we will see you on Thursday!

Congratulations to Josh and Brandon on their acceptance into the American Legion's Boys State! This year's program will be held at Hampden-Sydney College which is located south of Farmville, Virginia.

During the week long event, our representatives will be involved in a fast-paced simulation of the American Governing process. Essentially, rising juniors from around the state will build a mock government from scratch. At the end of the week, two senators will have the opportunity to represent Virginia at Boys Nation.

This program is very selective and we are honored that we are sending two representatives from MVHS! Congratulations to these young men on this distinguished honor!

"You are your own Brand!"

This is the message delivered by Mr. Anthony Robinson, an engineer and Mount Vernon HS parent, to a group of our students during the first ever MV Speaker Series - "Building Major Skills" events. He shared details of his U.S. Merchant Marine experiences and how he applied several 21st century skills (collaboration, communication, critical thinking) to shape his brand leading to long term success.

Just like Nike, Google or Tesla, your brand can speak volumes for you over the course of your career. As a life long learner, he also stressed the need to never stop building one's skill because your knowledge can power your income!

Thank you Mrs. Stewart for creating this series of conversations for our students!

Good day Majors!

The end of the school year is quickly approaching and members of the Class of 2026 will soon be crossing the stage at George Mason for graduation!

Here is the schedule for the week before Memorial Day. Prom is this Friday at the Westin in Old Town. Enjoy the rest of your day. We will see you tomorrow morning.

Mount Vernon extended its boundaries today as a part of the ! Students from Ms. Russo's AP Government course connected with their partner Politics and Economics class in Kassel, Germany via Google Meet this morning.

Today's activities - basic introductions and an initial question and answer session. Over the next few weeks, collaborative conversations will continue with the goal of gaining a better understanding of cultural topics impacting each classroom setting.
