West Valley High School wants all of its students to be both college AND career ready upon graduation. Not only will students be on a default A to G college track, they will also be able to take courses that will give their high school diploma a career focus. In addition to teaching content standards, we also need to help our students to become life-long learners who are skilled at collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. We clearly recognize that we are responsible for preparing our students for a dramatically different future. Even though West Valley's academic program is strong, we as educators consider a broader picture for preparing students for college, career and life. 

 

It is our first step to ensure that our students will be prepared for success in high school as well as after. In order to ensure that they are prepared for life after graduation, there are important skills they will need to acquire. We will accomplish our goal by providing rigor and support as students develop their ability to read, write and demonstrate a high level of mathematical competence. Concurrently, we will provide opportunities for our students to learn and apply important 21st century skills.
