Bonita Vista High school (BVH) is a public, four year (grade levels 9-12) high school located in the city of Chula Vista, California. Bonita Vista High School is one of the few schools that has both the IB and AP programs. It is part of the Sweetwater Union High School District, and currently has about 2,800 students. Although their rival school is currently Eastlake High School (EHS), the principal of EHS has considered changing their rival to Otay Ranch High School because Bonita's league may be changed in the near future. BVH's Mascot is that of a Baron.

Bonita Vista High School was a four-year middle school founded in 1966, until it was converted to a three-year high school in 1968, then later re-converted to a four-year high school.

In the shadow of the mountain
Bonita Vista lies
We are guided carefully through the years
Beneath the spacious skies
Though we journey to a distant shore
We'll remain your friends forever more
