Valley Junction's first graduation was held on May 31, 1901, with just nine graduates. By 1916, the study body population had grown and a local bond was passed for a new high school. Construction on $50,000 structure at Eighth and Hillside was completed in 1917. </p><p>In 1938, when Valley Junction changed its name, the school district changed, becoming the West Des Moines Independent School District. At this time, one high school, a junior high school and three elementary schools served the needs of the community. In the same year a grant from the Public Works Administration allowed for a new concrete stadium to be built just north of the high school on Eighth Street. </p><p>In 1962, 38 acres (150,000 m<sup>2</sup>) of farmland near 35th and Ashworth Road were purchased by the School Board for $116,000 as a site for a new high school. Construction of Valley High School was completed in four phases from 1963 to 1970. Valley became a four-year high school during the 1971–72 school year. Costing nearly $5.5 million, Valley High School stretched almost one-quarter of a mile from end to end. Also in 1971, Valley opened the Metropolitan Conference's newest and largest gymnasium. Additional classrooms, science labs, and other student spaces have been added over the years. The first year that the new school was open, it was used for classrooms for some sixth grade students and for the ninth grade year of the class of 1970. The next year, it became a three-year high school. The graduating class of 1975 was the first class to attend four years in the new building.<sup id="cite_ref-About_Valley_-_Valley_High_School_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-About_Valley_-_Valley_High_School-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1995, the school district had 546 students as an average enrollment in grades 9-12, making Valley the largest high school in the state.<sup id="cite_ref-Siebertlittlelest_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Siebertlittlelest-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the fall of 1997, the construction of the Freshman High School Building, Valley Southwoods, was completed, and Valley High School became a tenth through 12th grade building.
