In 1978 Coach Don McCool came to Mount Vernon after three years at Hayfield High School. The following year, Mount Vernon became the first high school in Fairfax County to start five black players.[1]
The school's athletic department did suffer some setbacks in the early 1980s. After their 1979 championship season, the school's basketball team was forced to forfeit 14 of their season victories when two transfer students were found to be ineligible, lacking bonafide addresses in the school's district.[2] The school's basketball team was placed on strict probation by the Virginia High School League for the 1982-83 school year for illegally recruiting athletes from Alexandria and T. C. Williams High School, rendering them ineligible for any championship games.[3]
The problems were not limited to the school's basketball program. In 1984, the school was forced to forfeit four football games when senior Woody Wright was found in violation of the VHSL's eight semester rule.[4]

Fairfax County Hospital Commission
editAlso called the Fairfax County Hospital and Health Center Commission.
Fairfax County first created a Health Center Commission in 1947, following the passage of the Hill-Burton Act the previous year and the passage of the enabling legislation, the "Hospital and Health Center Commission Act" by the Virginia General Assembly.[7][8]
In 1951 the Board of Supervisors purchased a 14-acre tract near Kamp Washington that had formerly been the site of the county almshouse for the location of the health center.[9]
By 1955, the Commission had become moribund, but discussion by county residents over the need for a hospital in Fairfax County prompted the BoS to reactivate the commission and appoint five members.
Named in 1955, Maurice E. Odoroff one of five members.[10]
Three sites were considered for the proposed hospital, the Chiles tract, the Caton tract and the Bristow tract. The Hospital Commission recommended the 37.7 acre Bristow tract near Avondale, but were overuled by the BoS, who decided on the Caton tract near Fairfax Circle.[11] The BoS later reversed itself, deciding on the Chiles tract, which was located near the intersection of Gallows Road and Arlington Boulevard, as part of a 19-hour meeting in December 1956.[12]
"Hospital and Health Center Commission's Presentation of the Master Plan Concept Toward the Orderly Development of Health Care Facilities for the County of Fairfax to the Board of Supervisors in Session" Title of 1966 report outlining need for 2 additional 250 bed hospitals in county.
