    Mission Viejo High School has a great environment. The teachers there are amazing! The support they give us and the encouragement is unreal. I have met my closest friends there and mission viejo high school has opened up many different career options that I had no idea were possible. Without having the Agriculture program at the high school I would have no idea what I would be doing after high school. The agriculture program is amazing and the best thing I have ever chosen to do in my life! I have learned so many good lessons, idea's, and skills I can use in my everyday life.

    I love MVHS! Everyone is really friendly—freshman to seniors—and I always feel welcomed. Our staff is amazing and they really try to build good relationships with the students. There is an abundance of cool classes you can take: art, photography, oceanography, horticulture, and much more! The classes are challenging, but the teachers help so much. Football games are when the whole school becomes one. We have an amazing D-1 football team, and everyone is so spirited and excited every Friday night. Mission Viejo High School has treated me very well over these four years!
    MVHS is an overall great school! The school has a definite school culture and community feel, the campus is nice and large, the sports and arts program are both commendable, and they offer a rigorous academic path through AP and IB classes. On the other side, the student body lacks participation for school spirit days and events, largely because ASB doesn't do a good job of promoting these things. And the school and the svusd district is not very proactive and efficient in taking initiative and making changes.
