We had several parents graduation on Nov. 5 from our Parent Institute(PIQE). The Family Engagement Program educates, empowers, and inspires families to take an active role in their students’ education while building community and a peer-to-peer network. Congratulations, parents!

PIQE will run another program in the Spring called "Bridge to College & Career Success".

We are excited to invite all students to participate in Panther After Hours (PAH), our 100% FREE before- and after-school program for all Vista High students! PAH provides a safe, welcoming space for Panthers to socialize, build community, receive academic tutoring, build healthy habits, and explore exciting new activities. From Strength & Fitness and Ceramics to our Homework Lounge & Tutoring, College Readiness & FAFSA workshops, E-Sports, Auto Tech, and Mariachi, there is truly something for everyone! No experience or advance sign-up is required—students can simply drop in and join any activity that catches their eye. Morning activities begin daily at 7:30 AM, after-school activities run from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM, and a free snack is served every day at 4:00 PM in front of the nurse's office.
