Changes to the Ygnacio Valley Hall of Fame
-
Membership Program - we are designing a membership program that offers you the privilege and opportunity to nominate and vote for an athlete, coach or team to be inducted to the Hall of Fame. There is a small annual fee that would enable us to coniute scholarships and donations to the sports program at Ygnacio Valley. More details will be available in the spring.

Our Facebook page has changed from public to private. This was to prevent unwanted postings and scams. Posting can be done if you join our Facebook page.

The History of
Ygnacio Valley High School
The Ygnacio Valley High School doors opened in 1962 and quickly grew into one of the largest high schools in northern California. With enrollment peaking at 3800 students through the mid 60‛s into the mid 70‛s. The opening of neighboring Northgate high school in 1975 reduced Ygnacio Valleys enrollment
Continuing a strong academic curriculum meshed with an outstanding athletic program, the Ygnacio Valley Warriors strive for excellence both in the classroom and on the athletic field of competition.
During the 1988 Presidential Campaign, then Vice President George Bush, made an appearance at YVHS and addressed the Student body. In 1996, YVHS received another presidential visit when president Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore appeared For Netday 96, kicking off a drive to connect California Public Schools to the internet.
Today, Ygnacio Valley High School stands as a beacon of learning and excellence in the community that it serves.
