Fight Song: Fight fight fight for the scarlet and white, and raise our banner to the sky. Fight fight fight until victory (is) in sight for dear old Valley High. Go go go we will conquer the foe. Every Viking true is here to do or die. Win win win root them on and root them in. Cheer for Valley, We're for Valley, Dear old Valley High.
Valley High School is also home to the Academy of Hospitality and Tourism (AOHT) programm, the oldest in the state.
Since September 1, 1979, Valley High School has been an authorized Middle Years Program and Diploma Program International Baccalaureate school. Valley High School is #140 on the International Baccalaureate list of schools around the globe.
Since 2015, the program was under the coordination of IBDP Coordinator, Anthony Gebbia until his departure. Two new coordinators were appointed to be over the Middle Years Program and over the Diploma Program. Jim Snape runs the Middle Years Program, while Dr. Benjamin Feinstein, runs the Diploma Program at the school.
Unlike the rest of the school, the International Baccalaureate Program at Valley High School has its own student governing body, named the Valley High School International Baccalaureate Council (VHSIBC or IBC). Ever since the authorization of Valley High School International Baccalaureate, the Valley High School International Baccalaureate Council aims to represent the students of the DP and MYP programs at Valley High School and in the greater community, extend the IB curriculum beyond the classroom, encourage and promote the advancement of the International Baccalaureate, cultivate and sponsor social and cultural events at the school, and to foster a positive impact with the community and with the students of the IB programs.
