What a Homecoming weekend for Mount Vernon.

Couldn’t have asked for better weather.

The parade route this year went extremely smoothly from Washington Elementary back to the Mustangs Activity Complex, winding down College Boulevard. We think keeping that close to campus helped keep parking not being as big of a fight, as many chose to park near the route to attend the parade and walk to the complex.

The pep rally, coronation and powderpuff football game were held Thursday evening at Armstrong Field in the Martha Parsons activity Complex.

Friday morning saw the inductee of a new class of Mount Vernon Alumni Hall of Fame inductees.

We agree with principal Steve Brand that it is an honor and privilege that for the past 17 years inductees have been named and several years students have had opportunities to hear their life advice and accomplishments to spur them on to achieve their goals and dreams.

And just to think, in less than a week from now we have Lisbon’s homecoming with their parade to look forward to as well.
