Principal's Message 

Dear Valley Students, Families, and Community,

Welcome back to the 2025–2026 school year! We are thrilled to begin another exciting year at Valley High School, where every student has the opportunity to thrive, grow, and soar.

Valley High School is proud to be Santa Ana’s only campus offering a full academy model — empowering students to explore their interests and career pathways in one of our nine dynamic Small Learning Communities (SLCs): Culinary Arts, Health Care (Medical/Dental), Automotive, New Media Arts, Global Business, Engineering, Arts, the Welcome Academy (for students new to the U.S.), and the Anteater Academy (college-prep with a focus on AP coursework). Each academy offers a personalized learning environment where students collaborate with a dedicated team of teachers and peers.

In partnership with SAUSD’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department and our long-standing collaborator, High School Inc., Valley provides robust real-world learning opportunities — from internships and industry certifications to competitions and mentorships. These experiences help ensure our students are college- and career-ready.

And that’s not all — Valley also offers a full range of athletics, student clubs, leadership programs, and community involvement opportunities. There is something for every Falcon here.

We look forward to a successful school year filled with purpose, pride, and passion. If you’d like to learn more about what makes Valley High School such a special place, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Let’s make it a great year together.
Falcon Fever… Catch it!

Warm regards,
Ms. Katie Berger
Principal, Valley High School
