Santa Ana Valley High School, also referred to as Valley High School, is located in Santa Ana, California, United States. Valley High was built in 1959.

Background

Santa Ana Valley High School was the second high school constructed for the Santa Ana Unified School District. The school first opened its doors on September 14, 1959.

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. The nickname "Valley West" was first used by Lewis Bratcher to note the temporary three-block westward move. 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.
