Friday = Spirit Day! 💜🖤

Show your Vista del Lago pride by wearing purple, black, gray, your class shirt, team shirt, club shirt, or program shirt.

Sometimes we’ll have special spirit themes, too, check our Instagram to stay in the loop!

Homecoming is a traditional high school event that corresponds with a football game.

Each year, there's a different theme!  That theme is used for the assembly decorations, for the football halftime show, and for the dance.

The homecoming dance is usually held the day after the homecoming football game.  It's held at the school and is casual!  

Anyone purchasing a ticket needs to maintain 95% positive attendance in order to remain eligible to attend.  Major disciplinary action may also make a student ineligible to attend.

Students are able to bring guests from outside VDLHS if they have purchased a ticket* with the approved guest pass.  Guests are required to be at least high school age and under 21 years of age. Guest passes are available closer to the date of the dance and require:

• Student information for the VDLHS student and their guest

• Parent/Guardian signatures for the VDLHS student and guest

• Guest's school administration approval

• VDLHS administration approval 

*Raven Card discount does not apply to guest tickets

Dance Royalty
In order to run for dance royalty, a student needs to nominate themselves via their Class of Google Classroom - when it's time to run, a Google Form will be posted to nominate.  

The qualifications to be eligible for the Royalty Court are:

• 2.0 GPA in the most current grading period 

• No suspensions or major disciplinary actions taken in the school year 

• 95% positive attendance 

• Raven ASB Cardholder

Assemblies (Pep Rallies) are all about school spirit!
They spotlight our athletic teams each season, showcase performances from different campus groups, and even feature fun students vs. staff competitions.

In the gym, each grade has its own section, and on assembly days, the spirit theme usually asks you to wear your class color, so the gym is full of bold, matching blocks of color!

Class Colors:

• 🎓 Class of 2029 → White

• 🎓 Class of 2028 → Purple

• 🎓 Class of 2027 → Grey

• 🎓 Class of 2026 → Black

We love celebrating our Ravens who crush it in the classroom!
Twice a year, we host Academic Recognition Events for students with a 3.5 GPA or higher, featuring treats, music, and games.

Here’s how it works:

• 1st Semester Event → celebrates grades from the previous spring semester. (Invites go to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who earned a 3.5+.)

• 2nd Semester Event → celebrates grades from the fall semester of the current year. (This time, freshmen are included too!)

It’s our way of recognizing your hard work and dedication, because academics deserve to be celebrated! 

At Vista, giving back is part of who we are. ❤️
