Victor Valley High School is 109 years old as of 2024.
The Founding of a Community Landmark
Victor Valley High School, a foundational educational institution in the region, was established in 1915. It holds historical significance as the flagship school of the Victor Valley Union High School District (VVUHSD), which was also founded in the same year, marking it as the area's first high school district.
For over five decades, Victor Valley High School served as the sole high school in the Victor Valley area. This continued until 1967, when Apple Valley constructed its own high school, and other nearby communities subsequently followed suit. Its long history underscores its enduring role in the educational landscape of the high desert.
