About

We are La Vista, Mira Costa High School’s student-run newspaper.

La Vista has been an active organization on campus since the school’s creation in 1950. Students in the journalism program are encouraged to take the Journalism 1-2 class to learn the basics of writing news, opinion, entertainment, features and sports stories, as well as how to use InDesign and Photoshop.

The newspaper is published 11 times during the year (every three weeks) and has 20 pages. It is distributed to the entire student body of Mira Costa as well as several hundred subscribers. La Vista pays for itself through a lab fee, advertisements and subscriptions.

The paper always contains a center spread “theme” page, a staff editorial, a note from one or both editors-in-chief, a satirical “top ten” and a sports column.

The newspaper has consistently won silver and gold awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association since 1980.

La Vista’s management staff consists of two editors-in-chief, Kyle Allen and Zack Rosenfeld; one managing web editor, Katie Barger; one copy editor, Eric Zheng; one managing editor Robin Janotta and one teacher advisor, Michael McAvin.
