Be sure to follow MVHS ASB on Instagram @MVHS.ASB to stay up-to-date with events, club information, fundraisers, and everything else related to school spirit!

We are excited to roll out an entire year's work of school events, activities, spirit weeks, and more to help all Timberwolves connect to MVHS. ASB has constructed a "Year at a Glance" calendar (live document) for the year in an effort to make sure everyone knows what opportunities there are to get involved.

Next week is Fall Break, and school will be closed. Classes will resume on December 2nd at 9:30 am.

We at Mission Vista wish all of our students and families a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday break with loved ones!

The MVHS Internship Class will be offered this Spring Term. Are you interested in adding this elective class to your schedule? Complete the Internship Class Application by Friday, December 6, 2024.

An internship is a short-term period of hands-on experience offered to students by a business. An internship provides the opportunity for valuable work experience and to explore a career path. It offers a professional learning experience that will help you achieve personal and professional growth. By working with a mentor in a professional work environment you learn by performing tasks, working on projects and and interacting with people in different roles in the industry.

To earn credit as an elective course you complete an internship with 5 hours per week or project based with a minimum of 50 hours, log your hours and complete some course assignments/projects. The course is scheduled during 5th period and will meet for the first few weeks of the term for job skills preparation and then you will be cleared to complete the internship. Students in 11th or 12th grade that are on track to complete UC A-G requirements and in the Internship class can be eligible for a free 4th/1st period. You are responsible for obtaining an internship and transportation. Please read the intern and mentor agreement. If you have any questions contact Mrs. Rosen, Internship Coordinator at dararosen@vistausd.org.

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.

MVHS Students, Families & Staff:

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.

Complete the ASVAB Interest form here.
