Valentine Hills is among the top 15% of all Title I schools in the state. All students have access to a Google Chromebook during the school day and at home. Staff reinforce Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) through “CARES”: Cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy and self control. Students recite the Valentine Hills promise daily: I am a scholar. I can do hard things. I will ask questions. I’ll show my CARES today. A variety of before- and after-school programs are available for students.
