Mount Vernon City Schools has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. Now in its 25th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to school districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement to provide music access and education to all students.

Eight students from Mount Vernon High School submitted artwork to the Ohio Governor's Youth Exhibition this school year. The exhibition is open to all of Ohio's 1,112 high schools, both public and private, chartered by the State of Ohio Department of Education. The purpose is to provide all budding young artists of the state with opportunities to advance their talent, whether that be through scholarships or simply experiencing the process of entering their work in a competition.

Over fifty Mount Vernon High School musicians performed at the OMEA District 10 Solo & Ensemble adjudicated event held at Granville High School. Musicians performed in front of an adjudicator that evaluated their performance and assigned a rating based on several musical criteria.
