Japanese language students at MVHS have campaigned to keep the Japanese language courses amidst FUHSD’s plans to phase the course out. In April of 2023, the district announced that the Japanese program at MVHS would be phased out starting in the 2024-2025 school year and finishing in the 2028-2029 school year. In order to keep enrollment in language courses sufficient as total enrollment decreases across FUHSD schools, one language course will be phased out in each FUHSD school except for LHS and HHS which have healthy enrollment in their modern language programs.
