CBS interview with Siemens award winner and my former student- Angela Zhang
Testimonial from a former student
As an alumnus of Monta Vista High School, I had had the distinct pleasure of having known Mrs. Kavita Gupta since 2008. I have been a student in Mrs. Gupta’s AP Chemistry and Chemistry Honors classes. After taking up to 12 AP and Honors classes at Monta Vista over the past four years, I can vouch that Mrs. Gupta’s classes were some of the most insightful ones that I looked forward to each day. As a result of Mrs. Gupta's teaching and guidance, not only was I able to earn a perfect score of 5 on the AP Chemistry exam, I also competed on the national level in the U.S. Chemistry Olympiad, earning a top 50 national ranking in the competition. Her way of teaching chemistry made it enjoyable and easy for me to absorb and comprehend the material. At Stanford, the chemistry courses are known to be very challenging. However, thanks to the strong foundation I created in Mrs. Gupta's general chemistry classes, I was able to excel in all of my college chemistry courses. Mrs. Gupta played an essential role in my success in chemistry, and I fully recommend her chemistry website for all students to peruse and learn from. RC, Stanford University | Class of 2015

International Chemistry Olympiad Winners
Over past seven years, three of my students have gone to International Chemistry Olympiad (ICHO) Camp. Two of the students went to represent team U.S.A in the International competition. Here is an article about 2017 ICHO gold medal winner- Steven Liu.
