Geography
Within the boundaries of the Mt. Vernon School Corporation are several small towns which make up the school community. To the north are the towns of Fortville, McCordsville, and Woodbury. The southern part of the district is made up of Mt. Comfort, Cumberland and Philadelphia. The small town atmosphere is one of the attractions, which brings families from the city to settle in the country. The Mt. Vernon School district is located near 3 major interstates, I- 70, I-69 and I-465 which give easy access for Hancock County residents to work in the surrounding cities such as Indianapolis, Muncie, and Anderson.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“The California fever is not likely to take us off.... There is neither romance nor glory in digging for gold after the manner of the pictures in the geography of diamond washing in Brazil.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
