Norte Vista High School is a high school in Riverside, California, part of the Alvord Unified School District.
The school evolved from a junior high in the late 1950s to a comprehensive high school in 1961 to serve the growing Arlanza neighborhood.
Norte Vista started as a middle school, named Arlington Junior High, from 1958 to 1961. The first graduating class was in 1964.
Since 2008, Norte Vista has been an IB World School (International Baccalaureate)
Name Change
In September 2024, it was announced that Norte Vista would change their name and identity, and will be no longer the Braves because of California Law AB 3074-2024 states “require all schools with Native American imagery will be removed”. By July 2026, all Native American imagery will be removed from all schools indefinitely including Norte Vista’s nickname “Braves”
On February 23, 2026, it was announced that the winner was chosen between Raptors, Dark Knights and the Los Toros (Bulls). And at 10:35 am, it was announced that the winner was chosen, and the name the school chose was the Los Toros(Bulls) and will begin the process what people call it, “Norte Vista Concept Unification”.
Norte Vista High School will have all of Braves stuff removed after July 1st, 2026, and the start of the Newest Norte Vista Bulls history after 64 Years of Braves.
