History

West Valley High School was created in 1989 to accommodate the growing population of Hemet, California. The student and teacher population of Hemet Junior High (closed in 1990) worked to create a name, mascot and colors (maroon and gray) for the school. West Valley opened in the fall of 1990 to freshman and sophomores only. It expanded to Juniors the following year and graduated its first class of Seniors on June 17, 1993.

The school moved to a brand new facility on the west end of Hemet in 1996. In 2006 the football field was upgraded to artificial turf and the originally planned pool was also completed.
