MT. VERNON — The Mt. Vernon Township High School District will be hosting a community reception to welcome new superintendent Jeff Fritchnitch to the school. The reception will be on Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. in the MVTHS Foundation Lobby at the front entrance of the school.

Fritchnitch comes to Mt. Vernon after being the superintendent in the Altamont School District. In a previous interview with WMIX, Fritchnitch says with this job in Mt. Vernon, he has now worked in education in every part of the state except the Chicago area and deep southern Illinois.

The community is invited to attend and meet the new leader of the Mt. Vernon High School District. Light refreshments will be served.
