Welcome to Yucca Valley High School and the new school year!  My name is Deanna Skinta, and I am the principal at YVHS, the home of the Trojans.  Our Trojan PRIDE is strong, and this year is no exception to that. Each new year presents a "Black & Gold"en opportunity for our Trojans to shine.

Yucca Valley High School is an amazing school with loads to offer our students.  For nearly a decade, YVHS has been growing course offerings that provide students with choices to prepare them for college and career.  Our caring and nurturing staff exist to accomplish one thing, and that is to prepare our students for their future.  YVHS is never done growing and continually working towards improvement in all areas, including strengthening our partnerships with our community.  We foster a growth mindset that never allows us to settle for anything less than our best.

No matter where we come from, no matter who we are... When we enter the Yucca Valley High School campus, forever WE ARE YV!
