Principal’s Message

Dear Mar Vista Academy Community,

It is my honor and privilege to serve as the Principal of Mar Vista Academy, home of the Vikings. As a proud member of the Sweetwater Union High School District and a product of this very community, I am deeply committed to ensuring our school remains a place where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

At MVA, we believe that middle school is a transformative time in a young person’s life. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to create an environment that fosters academic excellence, social-emotional growth, and strong character development. Through engaging instruction, collaborative learning, and meaningful relationships, we aim to prepare our students not only for high school, but for life.

We are focused on cultivating a campus culture rooted in respect, belonging, and high expectations. Whether through our academic programs, extracurricular activities, or community partnerships, we strive to ensure every student has the opportunity to explore their interests and shine.

Families, we cannot do this work without you. Your partnership is vital to our collective success. I invite you to stay connected, get involved, and join us as we build a strong foundation for our students’ future.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. Together, we will make this an exceptional year at Mar Vista Academy.

With Viking Pride,
Sophia Gray
Principal, Mar Vista Academy
