The mission of our school is to serve all students by providing an educational program which ensures that each student has the opportunity to meet their academic, career, personal, and social needs. A variety of courses are offered, including a core curriculum of required courses and a program of fine arts and vocational education courses. Participation in the county's Regional Occupational Program and Tech Prep Program with Butte College enhances student opportunities in the vocational areas. Pleasant Valley is one of only 26 schools in the state which qualify to teach International Baccalaureate classes. This program provides an extremely demanding academic challenge to students who choose to enroll in the program.
Pleasant Valley has an extensive athletics program.
Student, parent, and staff involvement are the norm in all aspects of our school program. Pleasant Valley is in a state of rapid student growth. Consequently, extensive expansion, reutilization, remodeling, and construction of new facilities have taken place over the last few years. A new science building and library building were opened during the l994-95 school year. The school facility master plan includes construction of a language arts building, performing arts facility, and expansion of the cafeteria.
