This week of CTE month at MVHS is focused on the student organization for Industrial Technology, SkillsUSA! 🌟 SkillsUSA is the top workforce development organization for students. With over 413,000 members nationwide, SkillsUSA prepares students with hands-on skills and career-readiness in over 130 industries—from 3D animation to welding! Now in its second year at MVHS, SkillsUSA is open to all 9-12 students enrolled in an Industrial Technology or welding course. This year, our students focused on welding, competing at a district qualifier where two students placed 2nd and 3rd, earning a spot at the state competition in April! 🏆 As a team, they have been mastering SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW welding processes, along with welding positions and joint types. We’re proud of their dedication and excited to see them compete at state! Thank you for your continued support!

MVCSD has relied on funds generated by a voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy to address a variety of infrastructure and equipment needs. This list includes: ➡️ HVAC, plumbing, and electrical upgrades ➡️ Replacing school buses and vehicles ➡️ Roof repairs and replacements ➡️ Purchasing computers and technology for students ➡️ Improving playgrounds, sidewalks, and floors On Tuesday, March 4, voters who reside within the school district will consider renewing the voted PPEL for an additional 10 years. This will allow MVCSD to continue making investments in our schools and providing students with more resources, all while maintaining the existing levy rate. Also on the ballot is the proposed adoption of a Revenue Purpose Statement that would provide MVCSD with flexibility to use its annual disbursement of statewide sales tax revenue in a manner most effective for our district
