History
Simi Valley High was established in 1920 as the valley's first high school. Simi Valley High School has undergone several configurations over the years to become the 50.4-acre (204,000 m2) campus it is today. The current campus was built in three phases during the 1960s. Based on the physical concept of "schools-within-a-school," Simi Valley High School was constructed with three instructional quads, each having an administrative area. The original design also included one main administration building.
Currently, the school is configured with five major instructional areas, a multipurpose building, a gym and dressing room facilities, a library, a counseling facility, an administration building, a new area of portable classrooms, a stadium and athletic fields, a new senior patio, and a band room with all different types of instruments.
Awards
Simi Valley High School was ranked as the 555th best high school in the United States by MSNBC's Top 1000 High Schools. It has been a California Distinguished School since 1996. The school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) through the 2010 school year.
