Principal's Message

Good evening Mountain Lion family,

Congratulations to Coach Spivey and the Boys Volleyball team. They competed this past Saturday in the Arizona State Championship match. Although the outcome was not as they would have hoped, they played incredibly hard and truly made their school and community very proud. Great job everyone!

This is final exam week for our seniors. We sent the schedule out last Friday and it is also attached to our Mountain Lion Monday this evening. There are a few changes to the schedule from previous years so please take a look at the schedule. All other semester exams will be administered next week.

Thursday will be our senior BBQ – all seniors are invited to attend and receive free food – come out to the stadium and enjoy. Friday will be our College Signing Day and Grad Walk. If you are a parent of a member of the Class of 2019 please come see your child walk through the halls of our feeder schools and celebrate their commencement. This is one of our favorite events all year. CSD begins at 8 a.m. in the auditorium with a very special guest speaker. Grad Walk will follow and we hope to have our buses loaded by 9 a.m.

Graduation is on Tuesday, with the festivities beginning at 8 p.m. on Wayne Jones Field. Come help us celebrate our Class of 2019!

The last day for our teachers is Thursday, May 23rd.  There will be a party that morning for us to thank our teachers. If you are able, please go to this link and help us provide breakfast for our staff.Please click here to sign up.

Have a great week.

MVHS Parent(s) and Guardian(s),

In just a few weeks we will be heading into triple digit temperatures and monsoon season. While summer can be full of fun adventures and vacations, research shows that students lose up to two months' worth of reading and math skills! In order to help curb this slide, we have included some ideas for this summer in our attached newsletter to help keep your student's mind stay engaged while enjoying their break.

Principal's Message

Good evening Mountain Lion family,

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. We are very proud of our teachers and the work they do all year for our students. If you feel so inclined, you can join us in celebrating our amazing teachers at Mountain View and bring in some treats on Tuesday, May 7. We will set things up in the staff lounge. Thank you in advance for your participation and celebration of our teachers.

The Boys Volleyball team advanced in the Arizona State Playoffs this past weekend. They will host Salpointe in the Old Gym at Mountain View starting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Come support the boys in their run through the state tournament.

Congratulations to our softball team. They lost a heart-breaker this weekend and bowed out of the state tournament. However, they had a great season and represented their school with grit and grace.

We are racing towards the end of the school year. Our Graduation Walk and College Signing Day events are next Friday. We are extremely excited about our visit to our feeder schools and the emotions of seeing our Class of 2019 walk the halls one last time in the Marana Unified School District. If you have not seen this event, please put this on your calendar. We will leave Mountain View around 9 a.m. and arrive at our feeder elementary schools around 9:15 a.m. From there, we head to Tortolita and walk their campus. We should return to Mountain View around 11 a.m.

Mountain View is celebrating our amazing teachers and we are asking you to help us recognize our teachers for their hard work and dedication to our students during this school year.

Please sign up to supply food items for our Friday Staff Meeting - May 23rd - at 8 am. 

Please click here to sign up.

Again, thank you and help us recognize our great teachers this week.
