The AA Valley District is a district in Region III of the Virginia High School League. As the district's name implies, all the schools are located in the central part of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, along Interstate 81. Most of the member schools are part of the Harrisonburg and Staunton areas.
In 2007, all of the Valley District member schools moved from Region II to Region III due to the growth of Region II and the realignment of the AA River Ridge District from Region III to Region IV. In addition, the district split into two separate districts after the regional shift. The Harrisonburg area schools (Broadway, Harrisonburg, Spotswood, and Turner Ashby) formed the AA Massanutten District. The Staunton area schools (Fort Defiance, Lee, Rockbridge County, Stuarts Draft, and Waynesboro) formed the AA Southern Valley District.
In 2010, the VHSL reestablished the Valley District, with a few modifications from the prior configuration. The Massanutten District teams would were joined by Fort Defiance, Robert E. Lee, and Waynesboro from the Southern Valley District. Rockbridge County returned to the AA Blue Ridge District and Stuarts Draft moved down to the A Shenandoah District. The new Valley District became a member of Region III in the Fall of 2011.
Fort Defiance, Robert E. Lee, Spotswood, and Waynesboro are participants of VHSL Division 3, while Broadway, Harrisonburg, and Turner Ashby are participants of VHSL Division 4. The VHSL Divisional Alignments only are effective in Football, Boys Basketball, and Girls Basketball and the divisions are based upon school enrollment.
Recently, the VHSL released a new plan where Stuarts Draft High School would rejoin the Valley District in the start of the 2013 school year from the Group A Shenandoah District, giving the district 8 teams. The plan has not yet been approved, but likely will be.
