Mount Vernon High School is possibly the worst school in the United States that i have ever visited. the kids are always slaving away and the principles like getting the kids in trouble for no reason, and the Vice Principle (Micheal Hammonds) has multiple e-cigarettes in his office.Micheal Hammond Uses the Vapes. It is outrageous that they make you pay to get your phone back if taken up, and if you cant afford to get it back you might as well say goodbye to it.(Micheal Hammonds) can't even read. He picks on certain students and hates Mexicans. I personally hate Mount Vernon High School picking on students jus to make your self happy makes you disgusting. To make matters worse all the teachers gossip about students. If you think you can trust the teachers you can't."Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]
