Welcome to Paradise Valley High
Welcome
Welcome and welcome back! We are very much looking forward to seeing you on January 6th. We are excited for the new semester, and to continue the traditions that make PVHS "the place to be."
Please join us as we continue to embrace our culture of PRIDE (Prepare, Respect, Initiate, Do, Excel). We will continue to emphasize prompt attendance, ID compliance, dress code compliance, and academic commitment. Regular and timely attendance is a major contributing factor to academic success, and wearing your ID contributes to our school safety. Please be here on time, ready to learn. Thank you in advance, and remember, it’s always a great day to be a Trojan!
Whether you are a returning Trojan, or a new student starting at PVHS, we wish you all the best as you start a new semester! The 2025 spring semester begins on Monday, January 6th. All students will report to their PRIDE Time classroom at 7:30 on the first day of the spring semester to receive their schedule. Be sure to check Infinite Campus for the PRIDE Time classroom assignment.
Traffic Information
Traffic on the first few days is usually a challenge, so it is a good idea to arrive early in order to avoid traffic congestion. The West Lot is the ONLY lot designated for student pick-up and drop-off, as well as student parking. It is a busy area at arrival and dismissal time. Students are encouraged to ride the bus, if they are eligible. Please do not drop off in adjacent businesses.

Student Computers
The Paradise Valley School District loans a take-home device to students in grades 7-12. There is no fee for the use of the device, but families may carry full liability for the device (Chromebook) in the same way they do for other damaged or lost school property, such as textbooks. There is an optional protection plan which may be purchased annually and provides for reduced repair and replacement costs. Purchase the protection plan via the school bookstore. Students and parents must also sign a Device User Agreement.
Athletics Information
The Athletics office number is (602) 449-7023.
Students interested in participating in sports must complete a sports packet. Check the PVHS website for more information or see our Athletic Director, Brock Heykoop, or our Athletic Assistant, Karen Barnett, with any questions.
