Come out and learn what we have in “common” at our 38th Annual Town Meeting. This year’s event on Super Bowl Saturday will go for the win and share important District and County information, including a reveal of the new name, logo and identity of Original Mount Vernon High School. Established by my predecessor, Gerry Hyland in 1988, the Town Meeting has become a cherished community tradition that I am fortunate to host year after year to connect with residents and honor his legacy. We will begin the program with a tribute to him, recognizing his decades of dedicated service to our community and the lasting impact of his leadership.

Join us Saturday, Feb. 8 from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (NEW START TIME) at Mount Vernon High School (MVHS) (8515 Old Mount Vernon Rd.) to see your neighbors, meet your local elected officials and engage and learn about the County budget, schools and other issues important to you. Our popular Exhibit Hall runs from 8:30 – 10 a.m. featuring many County agencies and local service providers. The Park Authority will be conducting onsite interviews for the highly anticipated reopening of the Mount Vernon Rec Center. Take a moment to check out the KidBiz Young Entrepreneurs Expo which features many “small” business owners selling homemade treats and products. While walking around and engaging with your neighbors, stop and listen to the music by the MVHS Chamber String Quartet.

The program runs from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., featuring special recognitions and the flying virtual tour of the District with updates on recently completed, current and future projects, followed by Q&A panels with local leaders. You will hear from Congressmen Don Beyer and Gerry Connolly, Chairman Jeffrey C. McKay, County Executive Bryan Hill and Mount Vernon School Board Member Mateo Dunne who will be speaking and answering questions from residents.
