Graduation Celebration/VVHS


Tuesday, June 30 from 5pm to 9pm, we will celebrate the Class of 2020 as they drive through campus with their immediate family to receive their diploma and graduate high school. 

We ask that each family write the graduate's name on a white piece of paper and place it on the dash of the car so it may be easily seen as they enter campus.

We ask that each family assist us in traffic flow by accessing Parkview from Paradise Lane or Tasha Drive. Each vehicle will enter the main school driveway off of Parkview Place, and follow the line to proceed through campus through the arches near the baseball field. Our graduating seniors and their parents will drive through campus (Enter from Parkview/Main office entrance; Enter campus through the arches (near baseball field); Drive through; Seniors only, will exit the vehicle, walk stage, get their diploma and picture taken; reenter the vehicle and then exit through the north gate.) 

Seniors who have outstanding fees, may pay by check only. Seniors who have outstanding fees and are not prepared to pay by check will not receive their diploma until their account is clear.

Seniors who choose not to partake in the ceremony may pick up their diplomas on Wednesday or Thursday July 8th or 9th from 8am-330pm, or Monday through Thursday the following week. 

Valley Vista High School student athlete, Nick Mayberry, was recently awarded the Special Olympics Unified Sports Boys Athlete of the Year as part of the AZCentral Sports Awards. 

Nick was nominated for the award by Valley Vista coach, Rebecca Milobar, for being an outstanding leader, role model, and team player.

The AZCentral Sports Awards seek to honor the best in local high school sports from the past year, while honoring them through an awards ceremony. This year, the ceremony was held virtually, featuring some of the biggest names in professional sports as award presenters.

2020 Virtual Senior Awards

Mitchell Pinda, Economics teacher at Valley Vista High School used The Stock Market Game game to teach and motivate students in his Economics classes this year.  The Stock Market Game is a state wide competition that gives students the chance to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in an online portfolio. Students get to use real-time stock data analyze the ever changing stock market. They get the opportunity to make decisions on when to buy and sell stocks to try and make the most amount of profit. Economics students at Valley Vista High School got to participate in this semester's game. Out of the over 430 teams that participated in the state, Valley Vista had two teams score in the top 10.  Matthew Klien and Troy Thomas received 4th place in the state and grew their portfolio 27% ending the game with $127,325.62 in their account. The Team nicknamed The Mistakes consisting of Keith Davis, Maria Ruiz, Anthony Rios and Jessica Rico De Leon received 9th place in the state and grew their portfolio 15% ending the game with $115,024.32 in their account. These students worked hard over the course of 12 weeks to complete this game and we could not be any more proud of them.

The Dysart Unified School District would like to celebrate students, staff and community members who are contributing to the greater good during this unprecedented time. Do you have a teacher or staff member who is going above and beyond in assisting a student in remote learning?  Is your student/club working on a community service project or spreading cheer through a positive action? Did a community group or organization donate time or goods to your school? We want to hear from you. Please fill out the form below with the information and share a photo of the kind act so we can share these #DysartExtraordinary actions with our community.

This weekend the Valley Vista Co-ed Varsity Team  and the Valley Vista All Girl Stunt Team competed at Nationals in California. Both teams made it to Finals!  This was the first time Valley has had a stunt team make it to Finals at Nationals.  They competed against over 40 other teams and ended up taking 8th place.  Our Co-ed Team competed in the Co-ed Novice Show Team Division and placed 2nd overall!!  Being in the Finals for All Girl meant they competed twice in one day, and our team competed both on Friday for prelims and then Saturday for Finals.  Valley Vista left it all on the mat this year and brought home two trophies and 2nd place medals!!

Our team has worked so hard this season, and has made great strides not only this year but over the past few years!
