Valley View High School (Pennsylvania)
- Valley View High School (Pennsylvania)
Valley View High School is located in Archbald, Pennsylvania. It was established in 1969. Soon after, the schools of Archbald, Blakely, and Jessup decided to combine and form a larger more powerful school. A contest was held to name the school throughout Archbald and Blakely. The winning name was Valley View. The cougar was chosen as the mascot and the colors became blue, gold, and white.
Since then, their football team was state champion in 1992 under coach Frank Pazzaglia, the boys' basketball team was state runner-up in 1996 under coach Frank Nicolosi, and the girls' softball team was state champion in 2000 under coach James Delonti. The girls' soccer team has won two district championships, and the boys' soccer team captured their own district championship in 2006.
The school also has dedicated baseball, swimming/diving, and track and field teams along with a numerous amount of clubs including the ski club, SADD, PTSA, chess club, drama club, Future Business Leaders of America, Leo Club, Spanish, French, and Italian clubs. Music, drama, and the arts are very prominent at Valley View. Many students have participated in PMEA [Pennsylvania Music Educators Association] festivals and have won many music awards. The school is known for its excellent spring musicals which always draw a large crowd.
Football remains the oldest tradition at Valley View, and in 2004 the school spent nearly 4 millions dollars on a new football and soccer field along with new track and field facilities. The new football field is located in Peckville Pennsylvania, where the previous one stood. The field was changed from grass artificial turf, the bleachers were changed from wood to metal, the surrounding gravel was paved all around, the concession stands were completely rebuilt and repositioned. These renovations to the stadium allow for more parking and a bigger seating area for the spectators.
Valley View High School was referenced in "The Office" episode "Job Fair", as the host of a local job fair; character Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) is (fictionally) an alumna of Valley View.
