Mount Vernon Township High School District 201

What Mount Vernon Township High School District 201 does

Mount Vernon Township High School District 201 is a public school district governed by an elected Board of Education that operates Mount Vernon Township High School (MVTHS) and a satellite campus, MVTHS East, in Mount Vernon, Jefferson County, Illinois. The district delivers comprehensive grades 9-12 education to students in Mount Vernon and the surrounding southern Illinois area, with no tuition charged to enrolled students. Its academic surface includes a Freshman Academy transition program, NCAA-approved coursework, Special Education services, and a Career and Technical Education track supported by student organizations such as FBLA, FFA, FCCLA, SkillsUSA, the Roborams robotics program, the MVTHS AV Club, the JAVA student publication, and a Theater Camp for Kids, alongside athletics under the Rams brand.

The district's technology stack is operated through vendor partnerships rather than proprietary build: Skyward serves as the student information system for grades, attendance, and family communication; Edgenuity provides e-learning and credit recovery; MAP/NWEA is used for academic assessment; Google Workspace for Education powers student email (mvstudent.org) and productivity tooling; Chromebooks are issued to students; and Apptegy powers the official website (mvths.org) and the district's iOS and Android mobile applications. The district maintains compliance with FERPA and Illinois' Student Online Privacy Protection Act (SOPPA) and has published a formal Artificial Intelligence Usage Policy governing classroom AI use, though no AI products or models are deployed.

Revenue is derived from public education funding rather than customer payments: Illinois state education funding formulas, local property taxes, and federal education grants form the operating base, supplemented by ancillary fee income from student parking permits and food and nutrition services. The MVTHS Foundation (mvthsfoundation.org) provides a supplemental fundraising channel. Leadership is headed by Superintendent Chad LeCrone and Principal Rowdy Fatheree, with a director-level bench covering Curriculum, Special Education, Athletics, Food Service, Finance, Technology, and Instructional Technology. The district is not a privately funded or equity-backed entity and is not a candidate for traditional PE/VC investment; its strategic posture is governed by public-sector accountability, state oversight via the Illinois State Board of Education and Regional Office of Education #13, and community engagement through the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce.

Scale indicators1 record

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Connections Academy (Pearson): Operator of tuition-free online public schools in partnership with state districts. Partial overlap in serving high-school-age students via online/remote instruction in the same Illinois public-funding ecosystem.
• EdisonLearning: Education management organization that partners with public school districts to run alternative and online programs. Overlaps with the district's e-learning and credit-recovery use case via Edgenuity.
• Stride, Inc. Formerly K12 Inc., operates online K-12 programs including high school options. Comparable in offering e-learning and credit-recovery pathways that compete with the district's Edgenuity-based program for non-traditional learners.

Direct peers

• Township High School District 211: Large Illinois township high school district (Palatine/Schaumburg area) running several comprehensive high schools. Comparable governance structure, public funding model, and CTE/extra-curricular program mix.
