AP Exams will be administered May 3, 2022 through May 12, 2022. Exams are only available for students who are currently enrolled in the specific AP course. This year MVHS is using Total Registration for AP Exam purchases. The cost of exams is $104 each. They will not be purchased through the MVHS WebStore. Please use the link below.

Food Service K-12 - Meals will be provided to ALL students free of charge again this school year and for the foreseeable future! While families are not required to complete a meal application to access these free meals, they are encouraged to complete one to qualify for the additional benefits associated with this eligibility (P-EBT card, reduction in fees for bus passes, home internet access, utilities, and AP/SAT/PSAT testing). The application remains a required document to view in the data confirmation process. Our online application program has changed this school year. We are using Titan School Solutions. The link to access the online application remains on the food service homepage, http://educafe.svusd.org.

Secondary Service - We WILL be using the POS computer system at both Intermediate and High Schools. Students will sanitize their hands and then proceed through service lines (speed lines or kiosks) as they have prior to COVID. They will make their food selections and then enter their student ID number into a pin pad to be processed. Breakfast will be served at morning snack break and lunch at lunch break. We will not be selling any items a la carte to start out the year. 

PLEASE NOTE: Water is not being given out or sold by SVUSD food services this year. Lunches will include either milk or juice, but drinks are not available to purchase separately. MVHS does have a filtered water filling station located in the library for all students to use.

Diablo's Thrift Free Store is a place created by the MVHS AVID students where all students can shop for FREE at lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays in room 511. Students can take up to ten items each day for free! Did we mention, it's FREE?! 

If you have any questions, please see Mrs. McAlister in room 504 or email at mcalisterk@svusd.org.

The health and safety of SVUSD students, staff, and the community is of the highest priority to the SVUSD. The District continues to follow the guidance issued by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA). Guidance will be updated as the situation evolves. The current guidance still requires masks to be worn indoors at all times in SVUSD schools for all students and visitors. This requirement includes all indoor athletic contests and will be enforced on the MVHS campus.

Mission Viejo High School is now using digital ticketing for all varsity athletic events where a ticket is required for entry (Football, Volleyball, Basketball).

You will redeem your tickets when you arrive at the entrance gate on the night of the event (do not redeem your ticket until you have arrived at the entrance gate). Please click here to purchase tickets for upcoming games.
