Housed in the historic Fifth Street Elementary School¹ building built in
1876 near downtown Livermore, Del Valle High School is the continuation
high school that serves the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School
District. In 1980 the school moved
to its current location at the former Fifth Street Elementary School. Del
Valle High School is fully accredited by the Western Association of
Schools and
Colleges (WASC). Each Del Valle High School student will graduate with the skills needed to
contribute and thrive in a changing world. We enroll up to 180 students in grades 9-12; all students must be at least
16 years old to attend continuation high school. We offer state standards
based core curriculum classes in Math, Science, Social Sciences and
English and electives that includes Digital Photography, Physical
Education, Computer Applications, Work Experience Education, Art and
Culinary Arts. The 2013-2014 school year will be the first year of our
Culinary Academy. Additional supports are available to students with Individualized
Education Plans (IEPs) and English Learners that have scored at least
intermediate on the most current California English Language Development
Test (CELDT). We also have several long standing partnerships with
community agencies like AXIS, Horizons and the Hume Center that help us to
meet the socio-emotional needs of our students. We pride ourselves on providing an individualized, small learning
environment that supports students to become responsible and capable
workers, active community members, resilient individuals, effective
communicators and capable thinkers.
