Band/Color Guard
The Monarch Royal Brigade is our Band, Color Guard, and Drumline program. No experience is required! All groups perform year-round and work with college-level and professional musicians. Students within the program perform and compete at: band competitions, football games, and basketball games.
Students will develop skills that will stay with them after High School. The Royal Brigade offers an accepting environment and develops bonds crucial for navigating High School. While it is a class, during the acadmic school day, the program does offer ways for select students to be involved with after school practices as well.

Cheer
Cheer at Monte Vista is one of its biggest and most successful programs, earning themselves a CIF Banner in 2025. Cheer competes at Varsity and Junior Varsity levels. The program itself focuses on supporting and promoting school spirit, doing so while cheering at athletic events, competing at the CIF Cheer competition, and participating in the Grossmont Cheer District Showcase in January.
The program represents the Monte Vista Monarchs of Spring Valley. It runs as a traditional sideline and Stomp & Shake team running through the Fall and Winter Seasons. The program is co-ed and fosters an inclusive environment open to students at Monte Vista. Please see the Cheer Instagram for all updates and announcements, including tryout and performance information.

Yearbook
Yearbook is an elective course that gives students marketable experience in print media publishing. It works toward the completion and selling of a finished product--Monte Vista's yearbook. Students compose, construct, and edit all elements of computerized text, layout, graphic art, and digital photography. Students must be cooperative, industrious, productive, and creative. After school, students will be expected to "shoot" photos, conduct interviews, sell and design advertising, and distribute yearbooks.
