Welcome to Clayton Valley

A Shared Vision

At CVCHS, our mission is simple: to create a welcoming, student-focused community where every student is supported and challenged to reach their full potential. We strive to help students grow not only in academics, but also in the skills and mindsets they’ll need to thrive as lifelong learners and contributing citizens in a diverse world. The Profile of an Eagle serves as our guide, outlining the qualities and expectations that shape a CVCHS student’s journey—from their first days as a Freshman to the proud moment they graduate as Seniors.

CVCHS has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Best High Schools in the nation for the years 2025–26 and 2026-27.

Our Voices

CVCHS Student
Ms. Garcia

During my time here at Clayton Valley, I've truly enjoyed watching our students grow and blossom into young adults.

Ms. Garcia - College & Career Counselor

CVCHS Staff Member
Ms. Herrera

Working at CVCHS has been an adventurous time of my life. Over the past 19 years, I have witnessed positive changes in our school's educational progress, and greater awareness with respect for students' and staff members' multicultural backgrounds, race, religion, language, and gender identities on our campus. CVCHS will always be my Ugly home.
