The Mt. Vernon High School was constructed in 1997 and recent classroom additions were made to the elementary school; plans are presently being made for additional classrooms. A new football stadium is a large recent addition as the team relocated from the smaller field located at the middle school. Ample parking and seating allow for an improved attendance, not that that was ever a problem.
The school system has made a strong commitment with its support of the popular A-plus Program, where students who qualify and meet specific requirements receive college tuition for several Missouri-based institutions of higher education. The school also has strong extra-curricular activities, including a state-champion women's golf program, playoff contending football, basketball, tennis and volleyball teams, as well as award-winning bands, vocal music, FFA and speech and debate teams. This growing and much-respected school district serves as a bright beacon to the continued growth of the entire Mt. Vernon community.
