Mission Vista will host its second ELAC (English Learner Advisory Committee) meeting on December 11th, 2024 at 6 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Vista Innovation Center (835 Olive Ave, Vista) in Room 302. The meeting will cover the importance of attendance and will review the ELAC bylaws.

What is ELAC? ELAC is a committee comprised of families of English Learners and community members. It is the responsibility of ELAC to advise school administrators and staff on programs and services to make sure English Learner students are receiving the support they need.

MVHS is very proud about the rapid growth of our Athletics program over the last several years, and each year, we evaluate our programs to see if adding sports offerings is feasible. We would like to ask our community if there are any requests for new sports for MVHS to add in the future. Please note, that not all requests can be granted, but we want to take the pulse of our stakeholders. If interested, please respond the the VUSD New Sports survey for MVHS below:

Meantime, we invite all prospective families and students to our next school tour on Wednesday, December 11th at 4pm in the MVHS Library.

MVHS, along with all other Vista Unified schools have an anonymous tip line (see the button below) where all stakeholders (students, parents, staff, community members) can report dangerous behaviors on, around, or related to our campus. Tips reported are completely anonymous (unless the user shares his/her name), and VUSD and MVHS administrators are alerted immediately. In order to keep our school community safe, we ask all stakeholders that if they see something, say something, and the tip line is just one of many ways to do that.

See below for TONS of Counseling and Career Center information and resources for academic, social-emotional, and college and career readiness needs, questions, and requests.

Consider taking the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) exam.

The ASVAB exam measures your abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success in the military. Taking the ASVAB does not guarantee or require commitment to enter the military. It can be a helpful tool for students to learn more about career exploration and planning in both the civilian and military worlds of work.

For more information about the exam, view What to Expect When You Take the ASVAB and the ASVAB Fact Sheet.
