Blue Valley
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Blue Valley High School is one of the top high schools located in United States. Blue Valley High School is located in Stilwell. Scott Bacon is the principal and Melissa Hansen is the assisting to him. Blue Valley is known for a myriad of school clubs, from the Environmental Club to the Programming Club to the Hip-Hop Club. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes has a branch that meets at the school. In 1968, Stilwell High School and Stanley high school combined to form Blue Valley High School. The school adopted a tiger as the mascot because the principal was from the University of Missouri. In the late 1970s, Blue Valley moved to its current location. It has two practice football fields, two baseball fields, one swimming pool, six tennis courts, two basketball gymnasiums, one wrestling gymnasium and a large stadium with a track and football field, which in spring 2006 had brand new field turf installed.
The school also has a 2 million dollar PAC, the Performing Arts Center with deluxe seating. The former building was turned into the district office which controls the Blue Valley School District, Blue Valley North High School, Blue Valley Northwest High School and Blue Valley West High School and every middle and elementary school in the district. Each year, there is an addition to the building, when the senior class leaves a gift to the building, such as a large neon sign in the main gymnasium. In 1999, a new hallway was added to the building known as the senior hallway. In 2001, the school was split and approximately half of the students were sent to Blue Valley West, new school just miles away. The mission of Blue Valley High School is to provide an environment in which all students will acquire the necessary skills to become responsible thinkers who appreciate diversity and are productive citizens in their community.
