At Mount Vernon High School, students are identified as accelerated learners if they have participated in above-level programming in the years leading up to high school coursework. Students can also self-select into accelerated courses like Advanced Placement and Honors, without prior participation, on the advisement of their counselors. There are many options for advancement at the high school level, and the counseling staff and Mrs. Maddock can help any student design the best program for their needs, talents, and goals.  See below for typical advancement options-- however-- unique programs can be designed differently from the coursework listed.
