A $1.1 million investment secured in the 2026-27 budget has brought the ATLAS Gifted and Talented Program back to life, restoring advanced learning opportunities for third-through-sixth-graders after the popular program was eliminated last school year. The return of ATLAS – which stands for Academics of Talent, Leadership and Scholars – was celebrated Wednesday at Mount Vernon High School, where some 150 family members attended a Welcome Night to meet teachers, learn about the curriculum and discover what awaits their 326 children across 11 schools. 

Career readiness starts here! The Mount Vernon City School District Career and Technical Education and Work-Based Learning programs are seeking community partners. The Work-Based Learning Program is a school community partnership that provides students with college and career readiness skills that bridge the gap between high school and students' future endeavors. Continued support from educators, community members, businesses, and the Industry Advisory Board helps create meaningful opportunities for students. Click here for more info.
