Principal's Message

Hello Students and Parents

Simi Valley High School, established in 1920 as the first high school in the district, has a long-standing tradition of excellence. Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and connected environment where all students can learn at high levels. With a commitment to preparing students with the knowledge, skills, integrity, and character necessary to become successful and productive individuals, we take great pride in the collaborative efforts of our students, staff, parents, and community.

At SVHS, we aim to equip our students with the skills needed to succeed in both college and their future careers. We accomplish this by offering a wide range of programs and activities designed to help each student develop to their full potential. While academic achievement is crucial, we believe that involvement in co-curricular activities is equally important. Such participation helps students build interpersonal, leadership, time management, and communication skills, which are essential for success beyond the classroom.

To truly benefit from your education, you need to commit to taking full advantage of what Simi Valley High School has to offer. The school's legacy of achievement relies on your dedication and enthusiasm to actively contribute to and uphold this tradition of excellence. Despite our ongoing success, we always strive to become even better. This requires your active participation and willingness to share ideas as part of a team committed to excellence.

I encourage you to immerse yourself in all the opportunities available at SVHS. By doing so, you will not only enjoy a rewarding high school experience but also be well-prepared for the future. I look forward to the coming school year and to supporting you in achieving your goals.

Sincerely,
J.C. Baxter, Principal
