Valley is a fun school that has many opportunities. For example, we have a metal's and wood's program that can get you into the trades. Or how about dual credit and Cec. It's so easy to get ahead at Valley if you put in the work.

My daughter had two years at Valley High School, and her time there was definitely negative for the most part. I will do all that I can to get her into a better school. I rate VHS very poorly.
