Summary
Mountain Vista Community School presented enrollment, academic goals and student programs at the Oct. 23 board meeting. The school highlighted a unified program plan to improve writing across content areas and described student leadership selection and extra-curricular offerings.
Mountain Vista Community School staff and students presented a school profile to the Harrison School District No. 2 board on Oct. 23, outlining enrollment, core academic goals and student programs.
Presenters said the school has 593 students and a school performance framework score of 64.2. Mountain Vista leaders described 11 career and technical education courses and more than 40 student clubs. Students said the school is entering its first year as a National School to Watch and noted the school opened in 2005; staff described this school year as the school’s 20th anniversary.
Mountain Vista’s unified program goal, officials said, is to improve writing across all content areas. School leaders explained the focus will be on sentence-level writing and college- and career-readiness (CR) writing in core classes; the stated aim is to build consistent foundational writing skills that support clearer communication and improved performance across disciplines.
Students described how they are selected for leadership roles: applications with written responses, demonstration of leadership behaviors in school, and required grade standards. Student presenters named several programs and activities, including Dungeons & Dragons Club, athletics (volleyball, softball, basketball), UCCS pre-collegiate visits for middle grades and house-based assemblies and restorative practices intended to support student development.
The board received the presentation as information. No board action or policy change was recorded in relation to the school presentation.
