Mount Vernon High School (MVHS) is a high school in Mount Vernon, Washington. [3] The school was originally known as Union High School. [1] [4]
Built in 1951, the Mount Vernon High School gymnasium features original wooden bleachers and other classic architectural features. [5]
In 2003 the MVHS gym was ranked first among twenty of the state's top high school gymnasiums by the Seattle Times. The story referred to it as "the gold standard of high-school gymnasiums" and "the Sistine Chapel of Washington gyms". [5]
Mount Vernon is known for its athletic success in high school basketball. [6] [7] The Bulldogs' boys basketball team found major success under Mac Fraser, head coach from 1986–2001, who was elected into the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2005.
The Bulldogs won consecutive WIAA Class 3A state titles in 1991 and 1992 led by future NBA player Mark Hendrickson. [8] In 2000 the Bulldogs lost in the state title game to Seattle Prep, but returned the next year to defeat Rainier Beach for the 2001 title. [9] The Bulldogs were undefeated in 1991 and 2001.
The 1,018-square-foot planetarium was built in 1962 [..] one of the only high schools in the area to have a planetarium.
1. Mount Vernon – This is the Sistine Chapel of Washington gyms. Built in 1921, it is old, wooden and has warmth and heritage. Many consider it the gold standard of high-school gymnasiums.
Few programs in Washington enjoy Mount Vernon's wealth of basketball heritage. Dating to 1924, when the Bulldogs advanced to their first state tournament, they have — including this year — qualified 22 times. Those appearances have produced three state titles and three runner-up finishes.
An effort is being made to put about 25 years of Mount Vernon High School boys' basketball games online.
Mount Vernon completed an undefeated season last night by beating Rainier Beach 65-52 to win the Class 3A boys state high-school basketball championship at the Tacoma Dome.

Q: What's the basketball history of Jim Caviezel, the Mount Vernon native who plays Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ" blockbuster? A: Caviezel, 35, grew up in Conway, near Mount Vernon, in a Catholic, basketball-crazy family. As a freshman at Mount Vernon High School, he got thrown in a dumpster by upperclassmen after proclaiming he would make the varsity. He transferred as a junior to O'Dea, played for the Irish, then transferred again that spring to Kennedy.
