Traditions
Valley High school is very popular for its many traditions. Valley Vaudeville directed by the choral director, Karen Bluel, has long been a Valley High tradition. In 2010, Vaudeville celebrated its 20th anniversary and several alumni were invited to come back and perform. Valley Vaudeville is usually put on by all of the choir classes, musical theater, along with other performers such as the Dance Team, Drama Team, Teachers and Tall Flags. The senior boys and senior girls also perform during Valley Vaudeville as it one of the last shows of the school year.
International week is another long-running tradition where several countries are observed in one week. During lunch, different ethnic foods are sold in the efforts of not only fundraising money, but also bringing awareness to other countries.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
