Amador Valley High School is a public high school is located in Pleasanton, California, a suburban town east of San Francisco, California. Amador is a part of the Pleasanton Unified School District which also includes Foothill High School, Village High School, and Horizon High School. Amador Valley is known for its excellent academics programs and its various extracurriculars.
In 2006, Amador Valley was voted as Pleasanton's Most Spirited High School.
History: Named after Jose Maria Amador, Amador Valley High School had its first class of eight students graduate in 1923. During this time, most of the city of Pleasanton was a rural community. Fouty-seven years later, however, Amador was at its maximum capacity level; as a result, Dublin High School was founded in order to subside the overflow of students. As more people came to the Pleasanton region, Foothill High School was formed in 1973. In 1988, the Pleasanton Unified School district was created and it combined both the Amador Valley Joint High School District and the Pleasanton Joint School District. Following the 1996-1997 school year, and immense rennovation process was conducted to bring the school back to the modernized conditions of today. Consequently, many new building structures were built and the school grounds were refurnished. Nevertheless, the school was able to revive one of the last original structures that date back to the original creation of the school: The Amador Valley Theater. Today, the school is one of the top 400 high schools in the nation winning awards ranging from the National Blue Ribbon School (2002) to the National School of Character (2004).
Construction: In the winter and spring of the 06-07 school year, new classrooms are being added near the E and D-buildings.
Publications: Amador's school yearbook is entitled Don Days, and the monthly school newspaper is entitled Amadon.
National Recognition: The Amador Valley "We The People" team took second place nationally in the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution competitions in both 2006 and 2007. The Team also placed third nationally in 2001 and first nationally in 1995.
