Fine Arts
Engage. Educate. Empower.
Mt. Vernon has a wide variety of opportunities in fine arts for students. Our students' talents are beyond extraordinary. The drama, art and music performances are nothing short of spectacular.
ART
With art classes beginning with kindergarten students and opportunities to continue honing skills through grade 12 with AP Art and the Art Honor Society, students are exposed to a variety of mediums throughout their educational career. 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.
