Evergreen Valley High School PTSA

Welcome to the Evergreen Valley High School

EVHS is an amazing school that has achieved so much in its short existence.  Since opening its doors in 2002, EVHS has grown to a student population of almost 2700 students.  While this may seem like a large number, we are very proud that our students, parents, and faculty feel there is a closeness one would find in a small community.  EVHS is a warm community where the staff is proud of their work and our students are proud to attend Evergreen.  Our students know they are privileged to attend one of the best schools in the South Bay and they enjoy their years at EVHS.

The test data at EVHS is a testament to student achievement and teacher effort.  Students and staff earned an outstanding Academic Performance Index score of 866 in the 2012-13 school year.  Approximately 1420 Advanced Placement exams were given in 2012-13 and the scores exceeded the national averages.  Ninety-three percent of EVHS seniors self report moving on to the collegiate level with the remaining 7% entering the workforce, vocational careers, or the military.

The school offers 17 different Advanced Placement Courses for college credit.  Eleventh and 12th graders have the option to apply to the ACCEL mid level college program at Evergreen Community College, and the ability to attend over 30 courses at the Silicon Valley Career Technical Education Center (formerly named CCOC).  EVHS also offers a full selection of courses that meet the California State University, University of California, and private college entrance requirements including advanced coursework in all content areas.

The EVHS Counseling Department, teaching staff, and administrative team communicates with parents via email, School Loop, and multiple parent nights throughout the year.  Additionally, all students have access to the online Naviance program for the purpose of college planning.  The school webpage itself provides much information about the school including a daily email bulletin.  Our counseling program also offers a comprehensive multi service program (MST) which assists students and parents by connecting them with community services.

Our student government and our Leadership class lead our school activities which includes lunch time activities and entertainment, dances, day and night rallies during homecoming, our famous Multi-Cultural Winterfest, Battle of the Classes, Link Crew events and more. In 2014-2015 EVHS Leadership students organized our student body to donate more than $7000 to the Bill Wilson Center for homeless teens. We dedicated ourself to this worthy cause in the fall and joined the "Because I Said I Would" movement. Throughout the year we hosted several fundraising challenges and supported needy teens in our community. For Arbor Day of 2015 over 250 EVHS students and community members volunteered to plant 40 trees and many drought tolerant plants. Their efforts brought responsible water usage and beautification to our campus.

EVHS is very proud of its thriving and exciting extra and co-curricular offerings which include a full orchestra, band, wind ensemble, guitar program, choir, drama, visual arts, competitive robotics, and business program. There are 15 boys/girls sports including football, track and field, volleyball, basketball, badminton, soccer, baseball, softball, cross country, water polo, swimming, tennis, golf, wrestling, and cheerleading.  EVHS athletics has won 17 Boy’s Division Titles and 23 Girl’s Titles with 8 teams becoming CCS Champions.  Our school yearbook is nationally recognized and has been honored by the National Scholastic Press Association.  Additionally, there are over 100 student clubs in which to participate.  EVHS is also home to the Child Development Center which offers day care for qualifying families throughout the district. This program is run with the support of EVHS students who work in the center.

Students, we know you will enjoy your days at EVHS because being a Cougar is like having a second family!
