Testimonials
"As part of our search for a high school for my daughter, we met with Mr. Procopio at SVHS. By the end of our meeting, there was no doubt that we had found where Abbey belonged. Abbey instantly knew SVHS would be a place she could be successful. And, she was! She excelled academically and was inducted into the National Honor Society, received the SVHS scholarship, as well as a Presidential Scholarship. She had teachers and staff who encouraged, challenged, and inspired her all the way. They not only did this academically, but in the development of her character. The relationships she developed with her teachers will carry with her always. In the 2 years Abbey attended SVHS, we watched her grow to become a strong, confident, and poised young woman ready and willing to take on anything life had for her."

"Sun Valley has been the best high school I have been to. They give people a chance when other schools turn them away. I have never been so excited to go to school and learn until I came to Sun Valley. The staff and teachers are super nice and very helpful. Sun Valley has inspired me to do better in every aspect of my life. I am grateful to have had the chance to come here. I've learned skills that other schools couldn't provide. Sun Valley is not just a school to me but a family."
