About Us

Mission Vista High School is a school of choice focusing on Arts, Communications, Science and Technology which draws students from throughout the Vista Unified School District as well as from surrounding communities.

Mission Vista operates on a “4x4” block schedule. Students take four classes each 18 week term. Each class meets daily. Each one-term class is equivalent to a full year class on a “traditional” high school schedule.
