History
2016 Stabbing incident
On November 15, 2016, five students were stabbed in the boys locker room by a 16-year old student, who also turned the knife on themself. Each of the students received at least one stab wound, but none were considered life-threatening by the Orem Police Department. The student was arrested and booked into a juvenile correctional facility.[5]
Athletics
The school sponsors fourteen sports and 24 [6] varsity teams, including baseball, basketball, cheer, cross-country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling.[7][8] MVHS has won 91 UHSAA state athletic championships[9] and seven national championships. As of November 2021, MVHS has more state championships than any other Utah high school in the sports of girls basketball, boys cross country, and girls cross country.[10]
The Utah Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (UIAAA) awarded MVHS the 5A classification Director's Cup for the 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 [11] school years. The Director's Cup is awarded for athletic success (40%), academic achievement (40%), and student, school, and community sportsmanship (20%). [12]
In 2021, there was an allegation by a volleyball player from another Utah high school about intimidation and harassment by a Mountain View High School coach.[13] Also in 2021, a football game spurred an investigation from the United States Department of Education Office for Civil Rights when fans allegedly used racial slurs and threw drinks at opposing players.[14][15]
