Last week, our 8th graders walked the halls of Vista Charter Academy for the final time as students. It was a special moment filled with pride, memories, and excitement for what lies ahead.

Over the years, you have grown academically, socially, and as leaders within our school community. As you close this chapter and begin a new one, remember the lessons learned, the friendships made, and the impact you have had on those around you.

We are proud of each and every one of you and can't wait to see what the future holds.

"Now go out there and make a difference." โ€“ Mr. Pendell

What a fantastic Field Day at Vista Charter Academy!
Our 3rd grade through middle school students enjoyed an exciting day of teamwork, friendly competition, and fun at the Midwest United Soccer Complex, while our younger Huskies had a blast participating in Field Day activities right here at school.

On May 13th, our 3rd graders had an amazing field trip adventure at Camp Roger! Students stepped away from the city and spent the day surrounded by nature and lots of beautiful trees. They participated in archery, learned how to build a fire and roast marshmallows, worked together to navigate a maze in the woods, and explored different animal bones and sea shells through hands-on activities. It was a day filled with teamwork, learning, and fun โ€” our 3rd graders had an absolute blast!
