History

Mountain View was originally created with students from Mill Creek High School, Collins Hill High School, and Dacula High School. It currently serves students from the Mountain View geographic cluster of feeder schools.

The Mountain View school district is made up of J. G. Dyer Elementary, Freeman's Mill Elementary, Woodward Mill Elementary, Patrick Elementary, Twin Rivers Middle School and Mountain View

Rivals

Mountain View's rivals are the Tigers of Archer High School, the Hawks of Mill Creek, and the Falcons of Dacula High School. The Archer rivalry was due to the two schools opening in the same year. However, they did not play in the same region, so they were a non-region fixture for all sports except football, as Archer moved on to the Corky Kell Classic in 2014. The Mill Creek rivalry comes from the 2011 season when the three-year-old Mountain View program upset Mill Creek in a 9-7 football game. On Friday, October 20, 2017, Mountain View beat Mill Creek in the last four seconds of the game with a field goal. The Dacula rivalry stems from a close proximity of the two schools.

Wrestling

The wrestling program at Mountain View has been the centerpiece of athletics, picking up various trophies since its start.[5]
