Sun Valley High School is a public high school in Union County, North Carolina. It is located between Monroe and Indian Trail. The school's mascot is the Spartans.
History: Sun Valley was founded in the early 1960s, prior to full racial integration of public schools in North Carolina. Integration had little effect at Sun Valley due to the predominant percentage of white students in this part of Union County. Integration of the schools in neighboring Mecklenburg County (the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System) led to white flight to Union County schools, primarily Sun Valley and its feeder elementary schools (Indian Trail, Shiloh, Weddington, and Wesley Chapel). Two new high schools have recently been built in the western part of Union County, partially relieving the crowded conditions that had plagued Sun Valley High for many years.
Sports: The Sun Valley Spartans compete in the 3A South Piedmont Conference.
The school's baseball team won the state 2A championship in 1977, while competing in the Rocky River Conference.
The boy's track and field team won the state 3A championship in 1987.
The girl's track and field team won the 3A state championship for five consecutive years (1989 - 1993).
The boy's cross country team won the 3A state championship eight times between 1986 and 1999.
1976 graduate Terry White is the inventor of the word game, MAD GAB. As a member of the baseball team, he tried out word puzzles on teammates while on bus trips to other schools.
