Simi Valley High School

Simi Valley High School

Simi Valley High School is a secondary school located in Simi Valley, California which was established in 1920 as the first high school in the valley. It nestles in the Santa Susana Mountains and is adjacent to the San Fernando Valley, part of the city and county of Ventura. Simi Valley High School has undergone several configurations over the years to become the convert|50.4|acre|m2|sing=on 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 Simi Valley High 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, and a new senior patio. It was ranked as the 555th best high school according to "MSNBC's Top 1000 High Schools". Their athletic teams are known as the Pioneers; the mascot is Hermie the Pioneer and the school colors are maroon and gold. They rival Royal High School as one of the four high schools in Simi Valley. For the second time in school history, in 2003, an underground newspaper was printed and circulated titled "(Insert Title Here)"; modeled after a 1980's underground publication, "The Underground Pony Express."
