Simi Valley High School (SVHS) is a public high school in Simi Valley, California. The school is part of the Simi Valley Unified School District and is located on the east side of the city.

History

Simi Valley High School was established in 1920 as the first high school in Simi Valley.

The campus 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.[4]

Academics

In the annual public high school rankings from U.S. News & World Report, Simi Valley High School was ranked in 2021 as the 17th best high school in the Oxnard-Ventura metropolitan area, with an overall score of 67.65 out of 100.[3] That makes it the 3rd best high school in the Simi Valley Unified School District, behind Santa Susana High School and Royal High School.[5]

Athletics

Simi Valley High School's athletic teams are nicknamed the Pioneers, and the school's mascot is Herman, or Hermie, the Pioneer, established around 1940.
