Welcome to the MVTHS Foundation

Laser Beams & Branding

Our 2025-26 Major Project

Once again the Foundation is undertaking a twofold major project this year.

STEM Laser Cutter

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) is a department within the school for preparing students to enter the workforce or for advanced technical studies.

Students in STEM classes such as Introduction to Engineering Design and Robotics as well as the 4 First Tech Challenge teams will use this tool to power hands-on CAD/CAM programs.
Allows for rapid prototyping for competitions that the CNC can’t match.
Equips the students with workforce-ready skills aligned to local advanced manufacturing needs.

•Project Cost: $8,000 • Foundation Commitment: $4,000

School Branding Initiative

This project came about as a result of school improvement efforts that included a revision of the Mission statement and the creation of a Vision statement. The mission defines our purpose while the vision is what we hope to become in the future.
The Core Values of Respect, Accountability, Motivation, and Support were identified using the acronym for RAMS. These core values represent the collective commitments that must be demonstrated in order to advance the vision.
There will be a combination of banners and graphics displaying the mission, vision, and core values placed in high visibility areas listed below:
- A lobby between the main office and student services
- B, C, D Building hallways (1st & 2nd floor)
- F lobby outside of media center
- Gym lobby above the interior entry to each side of the gym and above the trophy case
- Cafeteria
The goal is to enhance the physical appearance of the inside of the building and also reinforce these important components for all students and staff in order to help ensure students are reaching their highest level of potential and success while at MVTHS.

•Project Cost: $6,500 • Foundation Commitment: $5,500
