Dear Valley High School Students, Families, and Community,

 

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I am honored to serve as the principal of Valley High School and excited for the year ahead. This is more than just a school, it’s a community that stands together, supports one another, and believes deeply in the potential of every student.

 

My vision for Valley is clear. First and foremost, every student must feel and be safe from the moment they leave home in the morning to the moment they return at night. Physical safety, emotional well-being, and a sense of belonging are essential for learning and growth. Second, I believe in fostering an “us against the world” spirit, a unified and all-in approach where staff, students, families, and community members work side by side to lift one another up. Finally, our shared mission is to help all students reach their fullest potential—academically, socially, and personally.

 

At the heart of who we are is what it means to be Viking STRONG: Scholarly, Trustworthy, Respectful, Open-Minded, Noble, and Generous. These aren’t just words. They are the daily habits, attitudes, and values we strive to live out on campus and in the community. When we are Viking STRONG, we lead with integrity, treat each other with dignity, and aim for excellence in all that we do.

 

Whether you are new to Valley or a returning member of our Viking family, I encourage you to get involved, stay connected, and help us continue to build something special. Together, we will face challenges, celebrate successes, and make this a year to remember.

 

We are Valley. We are Viking STRONG.

 

In partnership,
Jesse Champion
Principal, Valley High School
