General Remarks

  • Alumni are listed alphabetically by last name at time of graduation. The month when the item was last updated appears in parentheses, as do maiden names.
  • Here “class” is defined as loosely as possible. Not all the students listed graduated together in June 1987: some graduated early, some after summer school, and some upon passing the California equivalency examination. Some were with us for most of our time at MVHS, though perhaps not our final year.
  • I do try to check the veracity of everything posted here, but everyone makes mistakes. If you note a mistake here, don’t get mad: just and I’ll try to correct the problem.
