Happy New Year!
We hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable break! We have had a lot of "firsts" at Vista PEAK Preparatory over the last few years and this year is no exception. This fall we welcomed our first year of 9th-12th grades, and celebrated our first real homecoming week filled with activities including our first Mr. Vista, homecoming parade and homecoming football game played on our campus! The second half of this school year is also packed with many firsts. We will have our first musical production of "Annie" in March, our first Jr./Sr. Prom at Sports Authority field in April, and our very first graduating class on May 28th!
