Española Valley High School (EVHS) is the public high school of the Espanola Public Schools District located in the City of Española, New Mexico. It is known for its large Hispanic population, recent academic improvements and for its AAAA boys' basketball team that had 28 consecutive wins in a row making it the #1 basketball team in the state for 2008. The basketball team made it to the final four in the AAAA State Championships.[1]The school's Marching Band appeared in the 1984 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade. EVHS is also known for Edward Medina Memorial Gym, which is the state's largest high school gym,[citation needed] seating 4,100.[citation needed]
The school is located outside of Española city limits in Fairview, a smaller community in the southern part of Rio Arriba County. Española Valley High School serves the southern part of Rio Arriba County and the northern part of Santa Fe County, including Chimayo, Alcalde, Velarde, Santa Cruz, and Sombrillo. EVHS also attracts commuter students from other school districts and neighboring towns.
EVHS is near Northern New Mexico College, and some Senior and Junior students occasionally take classes to get extra credits or preparation for college. The student body is mostly made up of mostly middle class, upper middle class and a few low income students. EVHS was once known for its drop-out and drug abuse rates.[2] However, Today EVHS's reputation has greatly improved as the attendance rate continues to rise and the drug abuse rates have dropped.[citation needed] EVHS has also raised its scores on state assessments such as AYP,[3] SAT and ACT scores.
The "Sundevil" is Española Valley's mascot. It was picked in 1978 by a group of seniors who had attended the old Española High School. During the past 6 years there have been proposals to change the school's mascot back to a hornet because of personal and religious issues. The change has not been implemented because of opposition from students and parents. The hornet was the mascot for the old Española High School which closed in 1974, becoming the middle school.
History
Española Valley High School opened to students in 1975. Its gymnasium was still under construction and opened in late 1978. Prior to 1977, Española had two high schools: Santa Cruz High School ("The Crusaders"), and Española High School ("The Hornets") which was founded in 1945. The 1,300 students of both schools were consolidated into one large high school, Española Valley High School. The first principal was Merce Villareal. The buildings of the former Santa Cruz High School became part of Holy Cross Catholic Elementary School, and the old Española High School became the Española Middle School East (Prather), which closed in 2007.[4]
Block schedule
Española Valley High School will once again use its block scheduling for the 2008-2009 school year, after its success in the 2007-2008 school year. In this system a student will have four classes per semester and eight classes in a single year.
In the modified block schedule any particular student could have up to eight classes in one day. Modified block scheduling allowed some classes to be "half-block" and last year-round in opposition to a "full-block" course which would last 1 semester. The modified block was implemented because some teachers and administrators felt that some courses needed to be year long. Courses offered as half-blocks were core classes like Math, English, Science and other various electives including Spanish and Yearbook.
No Child Left Behind Act
EVHS's Principal Bruce Hopmeier has been a vocal proponent of President Bush's controversial No Child Left Behind Act saying "I think it's great. I feel it's the best thing that came down from the federal government. It forced down innovative practices on education. A lot of schools and districts were getting by with just the basic educational process. This forced equality across the country. It also aired out a lot of dirty laundry. Without it, teachers would still be teaching like they did in the '40s or '50s."[5]
The mission of Española Valley High School, in partnership with our students, faculty, family, and community, is to ensure that each student is empowered with knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenges of the future.
— Espanola Valley High School Mission Statement
Since 2004 EVHS has satisfied the New Mexico State Board of Education's criteria for Adequate Yearly Progress mandated by No Child Left Behind as determined by the school's performance and participation rates in the New Mexico AYP standardized test for math and reading proficiency. 76% of EVHS's participating 11th grade students had adequate proficiency in math and reading in 2006-07.
- 1998-2003 AYP Not Met.
- 2004-2005 Made State AYP, No other surrounding high school did so.
- 2006-2007 Made State AYP Second Year in a row & met all US & NM state standards.
