Majors achieve and thrive together with purpose and pride!

Principal’s Message

Happy Summer 2024 Majors!  I cannot put into words how excited I am to be a part of this amazing Mt. Vernon community.   With every passing day this summer, I felt the passion, commitment and overall “love” for the MVHS community.  I am so excited to get this school year started so that I can begin to meet our incredible students, staff and families!

Now that we got through the July summer planning, training, and administrivia, I am going to begin to schedule community “meet and greets” as a way to informally get to know one another.  Stay tuned for dates, times and locations.

I hope that all of you are getting some time to relax this summer before school begins in August.  Stay safe and enjoy your time with friends and family!

MANDATORY Immunizations for Public School Attendance From Fairfax County Public Schools

Dear FCPS Families,

In Virginia, it's required by law for students to have certain immunizations to attend school. This is supported by guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Virginia Department of Health, and FCPS Regulation 2101.

Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school.  You can check your child’s immunization compliance by accessing ParentVUE. 

Families of students with incomplete immunization records need to provide acceptable proof of immunization to their child's school as soon as possible. You can find the list of required immunizations on the General Registration Immunizations webpage.

If your child’s immunizations are incomplete, here's what you need to do:

1. Get your child’s immunization record from one of these places:

• Request immunization records for free through the Virginia Immunization Information System (VIIS).
• If your child was immunized outside Virginia, get records from those states’ systems.
• Request records from your healthcare provider. Some may charge for copies.

Submit your child’s immunization record to your child’s school.

Families should submit their child’s completed immunization records before Monday, September 30, 2024. 

Please visit FCPS’ website for more information. If you would like to speak with an FCPS staff member, please leave a message at one of the phone numbers below. Thank you for supporting our students' health and well-being.

Hello, Major Families

We are nearing the end of the school year with only 3 days remaining.  For your planning purposes, remember that we dismiss at 11:20 with grab and go lunch on Monday and Tuesday, and we dismiss at 10:10 on Wednesday.  Our underclassmen are engaged in their final exams; exams in periods 6 & 8 will be administered on Monday, and exams in period 7 will be administered on Tuesday.  

On Wednesday, June 12, students will report to Major Time (3rd period) for attendance before participating in various Wellness Day activities until dismissal.

My bias aside, our graduation ceremony on Tuesday, June 4, was by far the most amazing FCPS graduation so far and our best yet. The Class of 2024 made us all very proud.  We are especially thankful to Ms. Brooks, Ms. Clarke, Ms. Williams-Taylor, and Ms. Townsend, who led us in the preparation and execution of the event and to everyone who participated, either by marching with the students or helping out behind the scenes! We know we're going to see great things from our newest Alums!

We recently said farewell to Mrs. Shon Reed, who took a position in a neighboring school system, and we are in the process of hiring a new Assistant Principal.  I am very excited by the number of highly qualified candidates we have to choose from, and I am certain we will find someone who loves our students as much as Ms. Reed.  For the time being, students and families assigned to Ms. Reed will work with their alpha administrator:

Last names A-Der  Ms. Boyd

Last names Des-Lay Mr. Shaffer

Last names Laz-Ram Ms. Blair

Last names Ran-Z Ms. Brooks

For continuity, I will assume the role of Class of 2025 Administrator, and I am very excited to see every senior walk across the stage in June, 2025, as my 4th class at MVHS.  I look forward to working with the Parent Council, as well, in planning Seniorfest!  Our new Assistant Principal will assume the role of Class of 2028 Administrator.

On a personal note, I have truly enjoyed my time as the Acting Principal of MVHS.  This has been a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I am honored and humbled to have had the chance to serve our community as Principal.  That being said, I am excited to return to my subschool and resume my role as Assistant Principal, and I look forward to working with our new Principal, Mr. Cary Dimmick.  Great things are ahead for MVHS!

With love and Major PRIDE,

Karen Boyd, Acting Principal

EPF Student Receives Scholarship

One of our students, Remi Lloyd, has been awarded a $1,000 scholarship through the "Credit Worthy Scholarship Contest" offered by Everfi. In order to qualify for this scholarship, Remi completed the Credit Worthy courses in Everfi in addition to completing her classwork, followed by submitting a 300–500-word essay detailing her future goals and how the program has helped her prepare.

Remi's essay was very well-written, and I am incredibly proud of her dedication and effort in achieving this recognition.  Congratulaions!

Good afternoon, Major Families!

We so excited about the next few weeks! Tonight is our Junior/Senior Prom at the Westin in Old Town.  Prom is always wonderful, giving our students a memory they'll take with them always. The admin team and staff can't wait to see our students this evening!

We don't have school on Monday, May 27, in observance of Memorial Day.  We use this day to remember all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.  We also thank all those in the MV community who are currently serving or have served in the past.

Tuesday, May 28, is our seniors' last day of classes and finals.  On Wednesday, several busses will take our seniors to Busch Gardens for a day of fun in the sun! Senior Awards are Thursday, May 30, and our first of 2 mandatory Graduation practices happens on Friday, May 31, along with cap and gown distribution and elementary school visits.

We hope you'll join us on Sunday, June 2, at 4:30, at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, for our Interfaith Ceremony.  Seniors in attendance are asked to wear their caps and gowns.

I look forward to seeing so many of you in the coming weeks as we celebrate our seniors!

Karen Boyd, Acting Principal

Personal Project Donations

Are you in the midst of Spring cleaning? Do you have any items or materials you no longer need in your home that are just occupying space? Please consider donating them to our English 10 team! Every year, our English 10 students complete the IB MYP Personal Project. Often, our students need supplies to complete the project, and the English 10 team would like to create a supply closet that can be used to offer materials to students in need of extra support.

Our students often complete projects in the following categories: Baking, Cooking, Cosmetology, Crafting, Creative Writing, Culture, Design, Family, Games, Health, Invention, Music, Performing Arts, Sports, Technology, and Visual Arts. 

If you would like to donate items that might help students complete their projects -  i.e. knitting needles, yarn, fabric, cameras, paint, baking pans, sports equipment, gardening supplies, musical instruments, markers, etc. - please contact Kimberly Dooley in Library Study B, [email protected]. 

There will be more opportunities to donate at the start of next school year, so keep the English 10 team in mind if you happen upon some items you no longer need throughout the summer.

Majors achieve and thrive together with purpose and pride!

Happy May, Major Families!

May is an exciting month with many celebrations! We celebrate our Jewish American and Asian American & Pacific Islander students, families, and community members this month and the many contributions and accomplishments of those groups.  

During the week of May 6-10, we also celebrate our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week! Take a moment to thank our teachers for their dedication and devotion to our students!

May 12 is Mothers’ Day, a day to honor our moms and those who have loved us as moms do, and May 28 is Armed Forces Day, which honors those who serve in all branches of the United States military.

We are also celebrating all that our students have learned and accomplished this year with our end of year testing.  For your convenience, our testing schedule is below.

As the year draws to a close, please remind your students of the importance of attendance.  Every day counts, and we want to see them on time, all day, every day!

I look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks as we bring Spring sports to an end and gear up for graduation!  Thank you for all of the support you show our students, staff, and school.  We appreciate you very much,

Karen Boyd, Acting Principal
