Academics 

Valley Vista is focused on academics that prepare students for college and career.  Valley Vista understands that a holistic approach is needed to meet the diversity of the student population.  The master schedule is strategically planned to accommodate students’ interests and academic needs. A variety of challenging Advanced Placement and dual enrollment courses are offered to provide students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school.  Career and Technical Education (CTE) opportunities are offered through signature programs, partnerships with community colleges, local businesses, CTED/WestMEC and CTSOs (Career and Technical Education Organizations). Furthermore, programs such as AVID are instituted into the culture to promote academic and post-graduation success.  At Valley Vista, academics are celebrated on campus. 

Arts

Valley Vista is focused on creating strong, academically-oriented art students.  VVHS will celebrate students who complete the AZ State Arts Seal Pathway. Strong academics will be a requirement for approval into the Art Academy. 

Athletics

Valley Vista is focused on creating strong, academically-oriented student-athletes.  VVHS celebrates students who achieve a 3.50 unweighted GPA or higher and teams that reach this mark as well.  Our Character Matters program goes beyond the playing courts and fields to recognize strong character within our student-athletes.  Our coaches work with our teachers to create tutoring possibilities for our students and VVHS stresses student-athletes achieving high GPAs in order to gain scholarships to NAIA and NCAA Division II and III schools.
