2025-2026 Principal’s Coffee #1
MVHS hosted the first Principal’s Coffee of the school year, and it was a wonderful success! Parents gathered for an engaging one-hour session sponsored by MVPTSA, where the Principal and school staff (School Principal, Assistant Principals, School Counselors, College & Career Advisor, Wellness Specialist, School Based Therapists, School Psychologists, and Speech Language Pathologist) shared school updates and answered questions on topics important to our community. This long-standing tradition continues to foster open communication and build strong connections among parents, staff, and school leadership. We appreciate all who attended and look forward to more meaningful conversations throughout the year.

Highlights of events
Welcome Back Breakfast – A Warm Start to the New School Year Date:Friday, August 15, 2025 Time: 09:15 a.m. - 10:15 a.m.
Monta Vista High School PTSA hosted our annual Welcome Back Breakfast for the amazing MVHS staff. It was a wonderful way to welcome our teachers back and show our appreciation for all that they do.
Around 150 staff joined us for a morning of great food and warm smiles. This year, we introduced some new menu items, including a few homemade treats like Chia puddings and smoothies. Since we weren’t sure about everyone’s taste preferences, we only made a small batch — but they turned out to be a big hit and were well-loved by many staff ! Many staff shared how much they enjoyed the variety and appreciated the thoughtful effort behind the event.
All of the food was provided through generous parents' donations. Monta Vista parents donated the food and the cash. PTSA used these donations to supply the rest of the breakfast, making the entire event possible. A huge thank you to all the donations and our dedicated volunteers, — your help made all the difference, and the event couldn’t have happened without you.
