Mount Vernon High School to Dedicate IB Wall of Seven

On Thursday, the Fairfax County School Board will read into the official record a resolution to dedicate the wall in the main lobby of Mount Vernon High School to Elizabeth (“Betsy”) Parker Calhoon, the first International Baccalaureate Coordinator at  the school.

The “IB Wall of Seven” bears the names of MVHS students who earned a perfect score of seven on an IB exam.

"We believe it is fitting to designate this wall officially as the “Elizabeth Parker Calhoon Wall of 7” in her memory and to recognize her leadership in this program," Media Liasion Dan Coast said in an email. 

A reception and dedication ceremony will take place in the main lobby of Mount Vernon High School from 4:30 to 5 p.m. Thursday. 

All interested community members, faculty and staff and encouraged to join us for this event. To RSVP, email Dan Coast by March 4.

Community members are welcome to attend Thursday night's FCPS School Board meeting at Jackson Middle School (3020 Gallows Road, Falls Church) at 7 p.m.
