Monta Vista High School main entrance

Monta Vista High School is a four-year public high school located in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino, California, US. Part of the Fremont Union High School District, the school serves most of the suburban residential and industrial technology enriched area of western Cupertino. In 2016, Monta Vista was ranked by Newsweek as the 18th best high school in the United States.[3] As of 2023, MVHS is experiencing declining enrollment due to the consistently high prices of houses in the Monta Vista area.

History

Monta Vista High opened in 1969.[4]

In 2014, a new field, track, and stadium were built along with a new student union and newly renovated cafeteria and six classrooms.[5]

On October 27, 2014, student Ethan Justin Wong, who was riding his bike to school, collided with a haul truck, although the specifics were unclear. Wong was pronounced dead at the scene.[6]
