The foundation of our alumni is traced back to the first graduating class in 1923, which had a total of 7 graduates. Since then, over 1400 students have earned a diploma from MVA, with an impressive 98% of graduates being accepted at colleges and universities throughout the United States and abroad. When visiting our school campus, please visit our Chapel to view the class photos dating back to 1923.

MVA Alumnus Guest Speaker
Sivasa Laupati is a member of the class of 1999. During his time at MVA, Sivasa took in everything the academy had to offer in sports, spiritual growth, and academics. He credits his continued love for writing to Mr. Andres' English classes, and the creases in his slacks and sleeves to Mrs. Lynch's Home Economics class. He would go on to complete his Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies from La Sierra University and his Master’s degree in Chaplaincy from Loma Linda University. He met his wife, Cecilia, during his time at LLU, and then married her at the beginning of this year. Sivasa is an associate chaplain at the Adventist Health Rideout Hospital in Northern California. Outside of chaplaincy, Sivasa is an artist, a writer, a lyricist, a published musician, and a singer with the Revelation of Hope Singers and his personal music ministry band, 'Alamai. He enjoys spending time with his wife, being outdoors, and talking with his nieces, Lala, Meleane, and Bella.

We invite you to make a heartfelt contribution towards projects that will significantly amplify students’ learning and the Academy’s landscape aesthetics. 

Current projects:

• Gym Redwood Siding: $20,000

• Chapel Projector & Classroom Smartboards: $40,000

• Gym Floor Covering: $15,000

In closing, please send some extra prayers for MVA as we are about to go through our WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation the week leading up to Alumni. Our teachers, staff, and other team members have been actively preparing for this accreditation.

Lastly, we will be livestreaming Alumni Weekend. Be sure to check back here or on MVA’s Facebook group page (Mountain View Academy Alumni) a few days before our alumni event for the link.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at Alumni Weekend!

Warm regards,

Rose Ecklund-Shimizu
