Evergreen Valley High School, San Jose | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

EVHS is full of pride and loving teenagers who care a whole lot about their community. The leadership class themselves try to improve participation and school involvement in all of our peers and wil go to great lengths to achieve those goals. This school as any other school is not perfect. I am a current student attending Evergreen Valley high school and I’ve got to say we have done really great so far. Just recently our school raise $4137 for Bill Wilson shelter for teens. We did this with in a week and received great recognition from the organization and the leader of the campaign because I said I would. As a whole we’ve achieved one of the highest SAT scores and hold many accomplished student athletes in our athletic department. Yes some teachers may be very hard or not very great what they’re doing but that is only the minority of our staff. This campus is very fun and full of wonderful students eager to learn and be successful in life. Within three years our PTSA raised $16,000 on their own just to provide for school. our school made a huge community improvement just by the donations we receive. The students continue to try their best and always always try to make our school better place. I’m not saying were perfect but we try very hard to improve each and every year every second of the day every day of the school year just to make our school and our community a better place for well-rounded young adults.

This school year at Evergreen Valley has been really amazing, and it’s only just begun. We’ve had great new ideas and programs that are creating a community in the school, such as a school-wide Because I Said I Would pledge to help the homeless teens at the Bill Wilson Center throughout this year (we raised more than $4,000!) and a Link Crew program to help freshmen integrate into the high school lifestyle efficiently and as easily as possible. The school is doing amazing things, especially the students. Students here not only excel at studies but they also participate in the numerous sports, clubs, and other activities that we have here at EV. Everyone is so hard-working, supportive, and friendly, and you can always find people that share your interests. We just had a spirit day where many students dressed up in their 1920s dresses and suits, even though it was raining; that’s dedication. The students at EV are definitely going places and EVHS just keeps getting better and better from my experience.

From the first day of my freshman year, EV had immediately proved to be very different from what I was expecting. I expected there to be very obvious groups that would exclude any newcomers. But what I had experienced was a very welcoming, friendly, and fun environment. Throughout the years at EVHS, it has maintained that positive atmosphere I had discovered from the very first day. Not only is EV a beautiful campus, there are many profound examples of passionate leaders all throughout the school. Not to mention that the events are literally so much fun. Battle of the Classes, Homecoming, Dances, Prom, they all do a absolutely fantastic job of uniting the school and encouraging School & Class Pride. All of these really do make me proud and grateful to be going to Evergreen Valley High School
