The Mount Vernon School has grown to offer more than 60 sports teams across multiple campuses, from Mustangs in Training at our Lower School to our State Championship Varsity Track and Field athletes. This tremendous growth has stretched the School’s physical capacity to support our teams equitably, forcing us to rely on off-campus facilities for training, conditioning, and competition. Let’s Do This is focused on expanding our athletic space footprint so our students are able to train and complete at home. Because there is nothing quite like a home field advantage!
Our commitment to innovation applies to every facet of campus life, including our athletic programming. This means the use of exercise science to improve athlete performance, cutting edge facilities to support world-class training, and incorporating technology, AI, data science, and virtual/augmented reality to give our athletes an unparalleled training environment.
Students who participate in organized athletics experience improved quality of life, lower levels of stress, higher levels of self-esteem, and develop stronger social skills. Sports is not only about competing. It is about building strong character, strengthening healthy habits, and creating opportunities for students to thrive inside and outside of the classroom, in both body and mind.
The places where our community comes together are paramount. Our fields and gyms are more than just athletic facilities; they’re the heart of our support and celebration. They house cherished traditions like Mustang Rally and Homecoming, moments of inspiration like convocation and chapel, and our most sacred milestone, Commencement. Let’s Do This will expand these vital spaces for our community to gather.
