Something our faculty always says is that Central Valley is our school. We get to decide the culture. This statement always gave us opportunity to decide how we were going to behave and respond. If we wanted to make a difference, ultimately we could. I even got to design the first and only student lead club. They were pretty accepting of it and flexible as to what we could do. As to changes, sometimes it was difficult working with administration to get the best fitting schedules for individuals. It was harder to get dual enrollment, higher education classes, or additional classes. I would often have to pull many strings in order to get what I needed. Overall, however, it was a great place to build relationships and learn in a thriving environment.
My son and daughter attend CVHS. Overall, their experience has been positive. I would, however, like to see more diverse courses offered based on their academic path. I also feel that there could be more hands on experience in the science field. I would also like to see a creative writing course in place of British literature during their senior year. Creative writing will have a far better impact during their higher education years. It will offer them a wide range of experience that they will be able to take with them throughout their adult life whether it be writing a college essay or a marketing report.
What I do love about Central Valley High School is their attentiveness to cleanliness (on the surface.) Hallways are generally clean, toilets are pretty alright, and I haven't seen hair in any food yet. There are problems with cockroaches though, especially in the girl's showers near the wellness center. Showers could use maintenance. The most effort they have put into ecological stuff is the Environmental Science classes, I would like to see some more effort put into making the school eco-friendly. Chorus program is sucky. Programs for anyone with mental disabilities are the minimum. Great test scores though.
