History

On 31 January 2013, a fire, reported at about 2:30 am, burned down the cafeteria building which also housed the student store, commission room for the associated student body, activities office, and maintenance garage.[2]

New Cafeteria

Hundreds of El Monte Union students, staff, alumni and community members gathered at Mountain View High School on Jan. 23 to celebrate the grand opening of the Bobby Salcedo Student Union – named in honor of former student, beloved teacher and successful administrator Agustin Roberto “Bobby” Salcedo. The festive celebration included a ribbon-cutting and name unveiling ceremony of the 30,000-square-foot facility, which will house the school's much-anticipated cafeteria and kitchen, as well as a multipurpose room, Associated Student Body (ASB) meeting spaces and a student store. Mountain View's former cafeteria was destroyed by fire in January 2013.
