Santa Ana Valley High School, more commonly referred to Valley High School is located at 1801 S. Greenville St. in Santa Ana, CA 92704. Valley High was built in 1959 and recently celebrated its 50th year anniversary in 2009.
Valley High School is believed to have one of the largest auditoriums in the Santa Unified School District.
In 2006–07, the school was remodeled for the first time in its history. During this time, all students used the Godinez Fundamental High School campus, which had just been built and was currently operating under the name 'Valley West High School.' This remodeling project included the construction of a brand new Olympic-size swimming pool and the installation of air conditioning in some of the classrooms.
Valley High school is very popular for its many traditions. Valley Vaudeville directed by the choral director, Karen Bluel, has long been a Valley High tradition. In 2010, Vaudeville celebrated its 20th anniversary and several alumni were invited to come back and perform. Valley Vaudeville is usually put on by all of the choir classes, musical theater, along with other performers such as the Dance Team, Drama Team, Teachers and Tall Flags. The senior boys and senior girls also perform during Valley Vaudeville as it one of the last shows of the school year.
International week is another long-running tradition where several countries are observed in one week. During lunch, different ethnic foods are sold in the efforts of not only fundraising money, but also bringing awareness to other countries.
