Mountain View Elementary began in January 1988. The school started with two trailers and consisted of grades 4-6 only. For the 1988-1989 school year, MVE had two rows of trailers, with grades K-6. This also included the “Old Gym” where we ate lunch and had many fun assemblies! The gold boom was continuing, houses were being built, and the Mountain View attendance area continued to grow.
The following year, 1989-1990, an additional row of trailers was added. On October 9, 1990, the “first dig” took place for the new brick and mortar building of Mountain View Elementary. In the fall of 1991, the doors opened to what is now MVE! At one time, MVE had over 1,200 students! Both the building and the trailers were packed with students! There were three administrators, three secretaries, and multiple specials teachers helping out from other schools to accommodate all the students!
Today, we have a student population of about 600. We are a K-4 school, with two administrators. This year will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Mountain View Elementary! The original motto for MVE was “On the Wings of Success,” and it looks as though those words ring true still today!
The front doors will open at 8:05 in the mornings.
**Change of transportation needs to be called in by 2:30 pm.
