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.[3]

Academics

In the annual public high school rankings from U.S. News & World Report, Simi Valley High School was ranked the 16th best high school in the Oxnard-Ventura metropolitan area, with an overall score of 64.61 out of 100. That would also make it the 3rd best high school in the Simi Valley Unified School District, behind Santa Susana High School and Royal High School.[4][5][6]

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. The school's colors are maroon and gold; originally, the colors were purple and silver but these were changed in the mid-1920s. The school is a charter member of the Coastal Canyon League (CCL), a conference within the CIF Southern Section (CIF-SS) that was established in 2014. SVHS competes in the CCL for all sports except football and in the Marmonte Football Association for football.[7] Prior to 2014, Simi Valley was a long-time member of the Marmonte League.
