Welcome from Superintendent — William Seder Jr.

Welcome to Mount Vernon City Schools! It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as Superintendent in a community that takes such great pride in its schools, its students, and its people. Here in Mount Vernon, Ohio, we embrace the values of hard work, compassion, and collaboration that make small-town life so special. Every day, I’m reminded that “Excellence in Education” is more than just our motto — it’s a commitment that guides everything we do.

Every mile driven, every encouraging word spoken, every lesson taught—it all adds up to something bigger. Together, we are laying the foundation for a bright future, one student at a time. William Seder Jr.

Building Our Future One Student at a Time

We’re thrilled to welcome each of you back as we begin another exciting chapter together. This year, we rally around a powerful theme: “Building Our Future One Student at a Time.” This isn’t just a phrase—it’s a reflection of the incredible work our staff and community do every single day. Whether you greet students with a smile in the morning, prepare nourishing meals, teach and guide in the classroom, ensure clean and safe spaces, or support behind the scenes—you matter. Every role contributes to helping our students feel seen, supported, and inspired.
