Mount Vernon Honor Academy inducts eight students into National Junior Honor Society

Girls Who Code Clubs are free computer science programs designed for students in grades 3-12, and students at Mount Vernon Honor Academy have been participating to learn about coding. These clubs provide a supportive environment where girls can learn coding skills, build confidence, and develop a sense of community. Club members work on projects that address real-world problems, learn fundamental programming concepts, and engage in activities that promote social-emotional development.

Yinette Fernandez, a parent at MVHA, volunteers once a month as the club's advisor.

Mount Vernon Honor Academy inducted eight students into the Junior Honor at a ceremony on Friday morning.

Congratulations to the inductees on this amazing accomplishment!
