== History ==
Before Mountain View High School was created in 1902, students living within the town's limits would take the train from Downtown Mountain View Station on Castro Street to attend either Palo Alto or Santa Clara High Schools. In August 1902, the town of Mountain View opened its first school at the corner of El Camino Real and Calderon Streets, named Mountain View Union High School. The student body, at the time, were mostly descendants of Civil War veterans, blue and gray were selected as school colors, and since the nation's mascot is an eagle, it would also become the official mascot of the school. By the dawn of the 1920s, the high school's student body was increasing to the point where the campus was unable to accommodate any more students. In 1922, the school district decided to build a brand new campus at a new location on Castro Street. The new campus first opened its doors in late August, 1924. By 1933, the opening of Moffett Field would force the school to add new buildings to the campus in order to accommodate both the locals and the military children who would be transferred in and out every year.
By the 1950s, Mountain View Union High School was once again unable to accommodate the increasing student body on its campus. In order to fix this issue, the school district added another school, Los Altos High, to the district in the small rural town of Los Altos.
By 1961, the district added another school near Grant Road at the corner of Truman and Bryant. This would be named Chester F. Awalt High School, this school closed in 1981 because by 1980, Mountain View Union High School began to see a decline in enrollment to where the school would have to be shut down. Mountain View School District (known today as MVLA) decided to sell the original school buildings back to the city and relocate to the newly closed Awalt High School location. Los Altos High School adopted the MV school colors and mascot. Thus, Mountain View became the black and gold Spartans and Los Altos dropped the Knights and became the blue and gray Eagles.
