Mountain View Los Altos High School District

Following Measure E’s approval, MVLA got right to work identifying priority school upgrades, relying heavily on the community recommendations outlined in the Facilities Master Plan. Priority projects were aimed at expanding capacity to accommodate the sustained enrollment growth projected in our local high schools. 

Phase I, new classroom buildings and STEM labs at each campus to accommodate enrollment and support the latest 21st-century instructional methods, along with urgent repairs to existing facilities were completed in Summer 2021. 

Projects currently underway in Phase II include:  

s Construct Student Services buildings at Mountain View and Los Altos High Schools to provide academic, college and career, and wellness support for every student  Estimated completion Summer 2023
