About Mountain View School District

Mountain View School District was founded in 1884 in the agricultural lands that were part of the former Spanish/Mexican land grants (ranchos) and Tongva native lands.  The district began as a small one room school house at Collins Station along the Southern Pacific Railroad. In 1942 a new school was built on the corner of Archibald and Walnut close to where our district office building now stands. The region grew and a new Mountain View School was built in 1962 followed by Grace Yokley School in 1982, Creek View School in 1985 and Ranch View School in 1991. Park View Elementary School opened in 2022.  New Haven Elementary School will be our next school and will open in August 2026.  Other schools will be added in the future based on district growth and needs. Our district currently has 3390 students served by dedicated and experienced teachers, administrators and support staff. Mountain View School District is a school community whose members focus on the whole child: ensuring each child is safe, that each child's needs are met, and that each child is provided an education of the highest quality.  Dr. Douglass Moss has been our Superintendent since 2017. Dr. Moss strives to create school environments that are inclusive, diverse, tolerant, welcoming, safe and conducive to individual innovation and inspiration.
