Good evening Mountain Lion families,

We have reached the fourth quarter of the school year. One year ago we were beginning our second week of Spring Break and trying to get a handle on what was coming next. Nobody would have guessed what the last year would have looked like but the good news is today we returned to four days a week of in-person learning. That is exciting and we are all glad to be putting the last twelve months behind us.

One of the goals at Mountain View that I have shared often is student engagement. Now that we have returned to school it is vital that our students are engaged in their learning and actively participating in their classes. With less than nine weeks left until the end of the semester it is time to buckle down and get to work. I do believe that being able to interact with peers and teachers more during the week will help most of our students and this transition should be very beneficial for our students. However, engagement is the key to success.

I wanted to again share the reminder about graduation:

The 2021 Mountain View graduation ceremony will take place on Tuesday, May 18th, at 8 p.m. on Wayne Jones Field.

We are very excited to announce that we will be having this ceremony in-person this year.

With this announcement, we can also share that each graduating senior will receive four tickets for entry to graduation.

We are limited on capacity and we do understand the issues this could present. However, the good news is we will be able to allow people to attend the ceremony.

For students that are not able to attend the in-person graduation, we will have an alternative option available. A Sign-up Genius will be shared later this spring containing more information.

Also, you will see attached information regarding caps and gowns. Please contact Josten's with any questions.

This summer we will again be hosting our ELEVATE transition camp. The dates for this are July 26 and July 27. New student orientation will be held July 29th. Each of these will run from 8:15 – 11:30. We will be sharing more information soon about how to register and what you need to know.

Thank you and let's finish the year strong, together.

Congratulations Wrestlers

The wrestling team (see attached photo) finished the state tournament this past weekend as State Runners-Up! This is their 5th state trophy in the past 8 years. They had a school record - 5 STATE CHAMPIONS! ( Daniel Miranda, Brandon Paredes, Austin Scott, Chris Lopez & Rudy Acedo) This is a feat that only a few schools have accomplished in AZ Wrestling history.

We are so proud of our girls too! Lilian & Yselas Gradillas-Flores under the leadership of Coach Majalca . They only had the opportunity to wrestle two matches prior to the state tournament this season. Ysela finished as the State Runner Up at 152lbs and Lilian went 3-2 at 145lbs.as a Freshman in the toughest weight class in the state. They have built a great foundation for the future of MVHS Girls Wrestling!

Coach Ponce would also like to give a big shout out to his coaching staff. They continue to dedicate their lives to MVHS Wrestling and to each student-athlete in our wrestling family. They continue to make a huge impact in the lives of our wrestlers!
