To be eligible, students in the class of 2019 must live in the Mount Vernon or Lee districts, or attend one of the seven high schools (Edison, Hayfield, Mount Vernon, West Potomac, Bryant, South County or Lee) in the district.

You can apply on the Chamber’s website, or you can call them at 703-360-6925 to get a copy. In addition to the applications, students need to submit their academic transcripts.
