Valley Forge High School is located in Parma Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. It is one of three high schools in the Parma City School District, which is one of the largest school districts in the state of Ohio, serving the cities of Parma, Parma Heights, and Seven Hills. The school's colors are navy blue and white; its sports teams are known as the Patriots. Valley Forge High School athletic teams compete in the newly formed Northeast Ohio Conference.
Valley Forge High School has had a long tradition of educating students in two distinct disciplines; a college preparatory program and a career preparatory program. In the college prep track, students are required to take a variety of courses in the sciences, mathematics, and English. The career prep program is in conjunction with the other high schools in the Parma City School District, and offers students interested in trade industries an opportunity to begin developing their skills early. For many years, Valley Forge High School has offered pre-business programs affiliated with DECA, and also a certified automotive technician program.
On March 1, 2008, Valley Forge High School was the site of a Town Hall Meeting by President Barack Obama. He spoke to a crowd of 1,300 in the high school's auditorium on topics including the foreclosure crisis and health care.
