As of November 2021, MVHS has more state championships than any other Utah high school in the sports of girls basketball, boys cross country, and girls cross country.[8]

The Utah Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (UIAAA) awarded MVHS the 5A classification Director's Cup for the 2020-21 school year. The Director's Cup is awarded for athletic success (40%), academic achievement (40%), and student, school, and community sportsmanship (20%). [9]

In 2021, there was an allegation by a volleyball player from another Utah high school about intimidation and harassment by a Mountain View High School coach.[10] Also in 2021, a football game spurred an investigation from the United States Department of Education Office for Civil Rights when fans used racial slurs and threw drinks at opposing players.[11][12]
