Summary
Senior Class President Andrew Conway announced a plan for new Mount Vernon High School signage; Superintendent William Cedar Jr. said the district will match the senior gift to make the signs a reality, though no dollar amounts or formal board action were recorded in the transcript.
Senior Class President Andrew Conway presented the Class of 2025’s gift during commencement: “a brand new Mount Vernon High School sign near Cougar Drive, and an investment into refurbishing the sign on Yellowjacket Drive,” he said.
Superintendent William Cedar Jr. responded during the ceremony that “as a district, we're gonna match the Class of 2025” to help bring the signs “to reality.” The superintendent’s comment was presented as a district commitment during the event; the transcript does not record a board motion, vote, timeline, funding amount or formal approval process.
District and school leaders did not specify the funding source, approval steps or timetable for installation during the remarks. The presentation linked the gift to the class’s efforts to leave a visible legacy and to broader district signage plans. Any formal allocation of district funds or board authorization would need to be recorded separately in board minutes or an agenda item.
