Brown Awarded by State Board of Education!
November 22, 2009
"I'm pretty sure she's the first person from Mount Vernon High School to be nominated and win an award," stated Mrs. Holt when asked about the prestigious award MVTHS school treasurer Mrs. V. Jane Brown received last month. Holt, who nominated Brown to the Those Who Excel education awards program, said she did so because she felt, "she deserved recognition for her support of programs here at the school."
The State Board annually awards three levels of recognition: The Award of Excellence, the Award of Merit and the Award of Recognition. An awards banquet was held on October 24th at the Pere Marquette Hotel in Peoria where Mrs. Brown received the Award of Recognition for her exceedingly exceptional dedication. A generous congratulations and thanks are extended from the student body in response to Mrs. Brown’s achievement.
