History
Valle Verde Early College High School opened on August 27, 2007. 125 students were accepted the first year with five teachers on staff. The students successfully finished the year with a 100% passing average on the reading TAKS, something no other high school in the Ysleta Independent School District has ever achieved. On August 25, 2008 a new class of 108 students was introduced, making the estimated number of students 233, since some students were not allowed to return the following year due to not being able to keep up with the intense teaching environment. The second class also achieved a 100% passing average on the reading TAKS. As of August 23, 2010 there are four classes (9th Grade, 10th Grade, etc.) with a total of 383 students currently attending VVECHS, typical of a North American secondary school.

“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
