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)
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
