Softball wins Academic State Championship. The MVHS Softball team had the best cumulative GPA of any softball team at the 5A level.

A trend called “Devious licks” become very popular among schools all across America and it made students steal items from school properties, even affecting our beloved high school. This trend is about stealing a certain item, recording it and using a certain song, then posting it on tiktok for likes and attention. This trend affected our school especially the bathrooms, where most of them lack either mirrors or soap dispensers, and even leading to worse cases in other schools like stealing water fountains, yes! Water fountains! This is how far the trend was going and the trend eventually died out, but the effects of it are still seen today.
