Congratulations MVP Ocelots!
We’re proud to share that Mountain View Preparatory was recognized as a Distinguished School, achieving the highest Grades 3-8 English Language Arts and Math Proficiency scores among all public district schools in the Verde Valley and ranking fourth overall in Yavapai County.
This incredible achievement reflects the hard work, dedication, and teamwork of our students, staff, and families. Way to go, Ocelots! 🐾

To ensure every MVP student can enjoy a bag of popcorn each quarter, we rely on generous class sponsors.
Visit our website: mvppta.givebacks.com
Sponsoring a class allows us to continue offering popcorn at no cost to students!
We are still in need of sponsors for the following classes:
Kindergarten: 4 sponsors needed
1st Grade: 3 sponsors needed
5th Grade: 1 sponsor needed
6th Grade: 5 sponsors needed
8th Grade: 4 sponsors needed
Your support helps keep this fun MVP tradition alive for all students. Without our dedicated volunteers and generous sponsors, this would not be possible.

We are proud to celebrate our IB Thinkers — students who show exceptional initiative and creativity in their learning. Our Thinkers approach challenges with curiosity, apply their thinking skills critically and creatively, and make thoughtful, ethical decisions every day.
They don’t just find answers — they seek understanding, question ideas, and work to make sense of complex problems in innovative ways.
Let’s give a big round of applause to our October IB Thinkers! Your curiosity, reasoning, and integrity inspire us all to think deeply and act wisely. Keep shining and leading the way as true IB learners!

Principal Heather Langley from Mountain View Prep is proudly sporting her Yavapai County “I VOTED” sticker today! 🗳️ Have you turned in your ballot yet? There’s still time!
If you haven’t already mailed it, be sure to drop off your ballot for the Cottonwood-Oak Creek and Mingus Union High School Special Override Election at the Yavapai County Administration Building, 10 S. 6th St., Cottonwood — today!
Every vote matters for our schools and community. ✅

This week at #MVP, we had the most amazing weather! Most of our after-school clubs — even those that meet indoors — took advantage of the situation and spent a lot of time on the playground, soaking up the good vibes.
For Sherry Davis and Becky Dennis, our Ocelot Games and Archery leaders, having fun outdoors is an every-week priority. Sherry broke out the parachute (everyone's favorite) and made the kids' day, while Becky brought pumpkins and other items to demolish with barrages of arrows.
We are so grateful to these kiddos for elevating our afternoons with laughter and joy! Thank YOU, parents and guardians, for allowing us to enjoy the wonderful weather with them!

Mr. Jernigan's office is right next door to the art classroom, so he gets to hear these up-and-coming musicians and artists as they strum and glue and draw their way to success! It's a pure delight. Pictured here we've got some of our ukulele students as they perform and a display of craft aquariums made by the art class.


Our team showed unstoppable determination, teamwork, and heart all season long — and it paid off big time!
Huge congratulations to our players, coaches, and supportive families. You made MVP proud!
