Mount Vernon School District is located 60 miles north of Seattle in the fertile Skagit Valley. We are a growing and diverse school district that serves 5,700 students attending 10 schools grades kindergarten-12.
- Six elementary schools (K-6);
- Two middle schools (7-8);
- High school (9-12);
- Homeschool center (K-12).
The District is committed to success for all students and provides a wide range of high quality instructional programs and extended learning opportunities for its students.
Enrichment opportunities go beyond basic instruction and may include:
- Artist in Residence program,
- Missoula Children's Theater and other school productions,
- Pacific Science Center's Science On Wheels Program,
- Music, athletics, field trips, student government, leadership/service projects.
Strong community support for our schools is a tradition in Mount Vernon. The District has successfully passed operational levies with positive voter backing. This ongoing support has provided the District with the financial stability necessary for maintaining and improving instructional and extra-curricular programs.
In March 2001, the citizens of Mount Vernon overwhelmingly passed the largest school bond measure in its history. The bond paid for modernization and expansion of the Mount Vernon High School, LaVenture Middle School, and a new Transportation and Operations facilities.
