[edit] Arts

Since the city of Mountain View is known as the "Folk Music Capitol of The World," it comes as no suprise that the students of MVHS pursue many artistic endeavors. The school has a competitive concert band, marching band, and concert choir, as well as a theater arts troupe. The school also offers courses in painting, drawing, as well as art and music history.

In 2002 MVHS partnered with local musicians to creat the "Music Roots" program as a way to introduce students to the traditional mountain folk music and instruments common in the area.
