The Academic Booster Club is a parent volunteer organization whose purpose is to support the academic achievement and academic improvement of Mount Vernon High School students. 

The goals of this organization are:

• To recognize students for academic achievement and academic progress.
  
•  To promote community awareness and encourage academic excellence at Mount Vernon High School and Knox County Career Center.
  
• To recognize teachers and staff for service and support to the school community.
  
• To provide programs and information to help students prepare for college or other post-high school programs.

 

The MVHS Academic Boosters will meet the 3rd Wednesday of each month in the MVHS library at 7PM. 

A student must accumulate twenty (20) points to be awarded an Academic Letter. He/she will receive a chevron upon accumulating an additional twenty points for a total of forty (40) points. A second chevron pin is given upon the accumulation of sixty (60) points. If a student accumulates eighty (80) points or more, he/she receives the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. These awards are presented at the Academic Booster Club Award Celebration in May. Student totals are based on points earned by the end of the third nine-week grading period.

 

Earning Points Details on earning points can be found in the Student Handbook and questions should be directed to the MVHS Guidance Office.

 

 

 

Students are responsible for tracking points towards their academic letter qualification.  Points will be adjusted until April 30th where all points are final for the creation of the letter program as well as organization of all student awards for the program.  Underclassmen with point discrepancies will be addressed and corrected for the following year's recognition.  Senior corrections will be made and awards distributed to the student during the summer of that graduation year.  It is the responsibility of the student to check and update their points.  If they wish to compare their points before the April 30th deadline, please see Mrs. Wallace.
