History

Mountain View High School opened 41 years ago in 1979 as the second high school in the greater Bend area.[4] It was the first new high school in the area since Bend High School had opened in 1904, and the two schools remained the only traditional high schools in Bend until Summit High School opened in 2001 (Marshall High School is a magnet high school also located in Bend).[5] The school's first principal was Jack Harris; after his retirement in 1987, the school named the football stadium after him.[6] MVHS underwent major renovations in 2005 to expand the library and main offices.[7]

The school's mascot is a Cougar; MVHS originally adopted University of Notre Dame's fight song, but it is now based on that of Washington State University, whose mascot is also the cougar.

Academics

In 2008, 80% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 346 students, 278 graduated, 58 dropped out, four received a modified diploma, and six were still in high school in 2009.[8][9]

Extracurricular activities

Mountain View High School hosts the First Robotics Team (FRC) Team #753, the High Desert Droids. Composed primarily of MVHS students, it also includes members from Bend, Summit, and Redmond high schools.

Mountain View is home to the Bend FFA chapter, and is the only school in the area to provide agriculture classes. FFA is an organization that focuses on giving youth leadership, service, and job skill opportunities through agricultural education. Many teens around Bend switch to MVHS for this program, which is one of the top FFA chapters in the state.

This is also the only area school with a Cadet Corps program.
