About Mount Vernon Junior High School

At Mt. Vernon Junior High, we emphasize opportunity, a growth mindset, hard work, meaningful relationships, and perseverance. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment where all students are encouraged to pursue excellence both in and out of the classroom.

Our dedicated staff of 34 highly effective teachers approach each day with enthusiasm and a student-first mindset, always striving to do what is best for kids. We believe in meeting students where they are and helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

In addition to strong academics, we offer a wide range of extracurricular opportunities—including athletics, clubs, and fine arts programs—that allow students to explore their interests, build confidence, and develop leadership skills. These experiences are an important part of helping our students become well-rounded individuals who are prepared for success in high school and beyond.

We offer students: 

  • Primetime student-selected weekly enrichment  (Ex: Archery, Girls Who Code, etc)
  • Design and Innovation Lab: Manufacturing, Robotics, 3-D Design
  • Computer Science Course for all grades
  • STEM Certified School Experience
  • College and Career Readiness Course for all 7th & 8th graders
  • Band and Choir classes

Meet the principal: Ms. Reese

As a lifelong resident of Posey County and a proud graduate of Mt. Vernon Senior High School’s class of 2000, my dedication to this community and school corporation runs deep. After earning my undergraduate degree from the University of Evansville in 2004, I began my teaching career at MVJHS as a sixth-grade teacher.  I later completed a master's degree in educational leadership from the University of Southern Indiana. 

Over the past 21 years with the MSD of Mt. Vernon, I have been fortunate to serve in a variety of roles, including intermediate elementary classroom teacher, middle school math teacher, and instructional coach. Each of these experiences has strengthened my belief in the power of relationships, high expectations, and the potential within every student. Since 2020, it has been a privilege to serve as assistant principal at MVJHS.

I am honored to continue my service in administration as the principal of MVJHS beginning this school year.  In this role, I will lead by example to foster a culture that values continuous personal growth, embraces challenge, and supports students as they adapt, persevere, and succeed. Through strong community partnerships and high-quality instruction, our students will have opportunities to explore their interests, build a solid foundation for success in high school, and gain exposure to the vast number of possibilities that lie ahead. 

I look forward to working alongside our staff, families, and community members as we continue creating meaningful educational experiences for our Bobcat students.
