The school's mascot is a Toro. Known as the Campus of Champions.[2] The Toro Spiritline has won many state and national titles. In the 1984–85 school year, it was honored as a Blue Ribbon school.[3]

Athletics

[edit]

Mountain View was included on Sports Illustrated's 2005 list of Top 25 High School Athletic Programs in the Nation:

Though the school hasn't been around for long, Mountain View has quickly established itself as king of the hill in Arizona. In the last decade the Toros have produced scores of top athletes, including Todd Heap and John Beck (Washington Commanders), Shea Hillenbrand (Toronto Blue Jays) and Max Hall (Arizona Cardinals). More stars are on the horizon: Mountain View has had 15 scholarship athletes in each of the last two years. And over the last 10 years, the Toros have won 21 state championships in 10 sports, including football (four), boys' track (four), boys' basketball (three), girls' track (three), spiritline (6+), and boys' and girls' cross-country, girls' swimming, girls' volleyball, girls' basketball, wrestling and baseball (one each).[5]

Sports Illustrated later listed Mountain View as the top athletic high school in Arizona.[6]
