In the middle of August, Mountain View opened its newest addition of classrooms. The updated facility features 10 new classrooms and a multipurpose room/Gymnasium that is state of the art. With the new addition came the entrance of new programs to the site. We are now the Alternative Ed. School for all alternative programs in the district. To accomplish this we have 5 separate programs to handle the load. We have a morning program that contains approximately 175 students, a mid-morning program that houses approximately 100, and an afternoon program that has about 60. We are also the site for home education and a program of independent study called D.O.I.S.. With all programs we have about 600 or so students total.

Mountain View does not only feature academics but has a sports program as well. We have four sports that give students an opportunity to compete against other continuation schools. We feature volleyball, basketball, soccer, and softball. Our programs are competitive with the other schools. Our volleyball team finished second in league, and our basketball was defending league champs , winning again this year (although we were co-champs.) Currently we are in the process of picking a soccer team, and softball will start in the spring. Both teams have historically been league powerhouses. Hopefully this year will be no different, but only time will tell.

Although in the same location, it is an entirely new program, keeping some of the old and incorporating much of the new. Even though it is new, we are currently filled, or close to being filled, to capacity. It seems as though the planners got it right when they expanded the facility. No Virginia, this is not the same old Mountain View.
