Principles Message


Greetings Students and Parents: 
Welcome to Orange Vista High School, the home of the Coyotes!  I am honored to serve as your school principal and look forward to getting to know each of you during your time at OVHS.  I believe that every student is capable of learning and has gifts and abilities to offer our school, county, state, country, and world.  I am proud of our staff that is working hard to create a school in which every student learns and is prepared for life in the 21st century and where every student feels safe, dignified, and accepted.  We are excited about the systems and processes in place to support all of our students to ensure learning for each student.  My challenge to each of you is to find some type of school activity (athletics, activities, performing arts, clubs, etc.) to involve yourself with and connect to your school.  It is my desire that you enjoy your time at Orange Vista High School and will look back with fond memories and experiences.  I want you to leave our school prepared to “make your mark” on our community, state, and the world; as I believe you can and will accomplish whatever you set your heart and mind to do.  Please take some time to review the contents of the academic planner and organizer, as it contains information that will assist you in having a great experience while at Orange Vista.  I would encourage you to use the calendar pages in the back of this booklet to help organize and write homework and upcoming important assignments.  Let’s have an enjoyable, memorable, and successful school year together!
In Service, Mr. Workman

The Val Verde Unified School District desires to provide a safe environment that allows all students and employees equal access to, and opportunities in, the District’s programs, services, and activities. The District does not discriminate on the basis of sex, and specifically prohibits, at any District program or activity, unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, and bullying based on the individual’s actual or perceived race; color; ancestry; nationality; national origin; immigration status; ethnic group identification; ethnicity; age; religion; ; pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy or lactation, including related medical conditions or recovery; parental, marital, or family status; physical or mental disability; medical condition; sex; sex stereotypes; sex characteristics; sexual orientation; gender; gender identity; gender expression; or genetic information; or, association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics. Unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, or bullying, may result from physical, verbal, nonverbal, or written conduct based on any of the categories listed above. Unlawful discrimination also occurs when prohibited conduct is so severe or pervasive that it affects an individual’s ability to participate in, or benefit from, a District program or activity; creates an intimidating, threatening, hostile, or offensive environment; has the effect of substantially or unreasonably interfering with an individual’s academic or work performance; or otherwise adversely affects an individual’s educational or work environment. Unlawful discrimination also includes disparate treatment based on one of the categories above with respect to the provision of opportunities to participate in District programs or activities or the provision or receipt of educational or work benefits or services. The District also prohibits any form of retaliation against any individual who reports or participates in reporting unlawful discrimination, files or participates in filing a complaint, or investigates or participates in the investigation of a complaint or report alleging unlawful discrimination. Retaliation complaints shall be investigated and resolved in the same manner as discrimination complaints. Students who engage in unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, retaliation, or bullying, in violation of law, Board policy, or administrative regulation shall be subject to appropriate consequence or discipline, which may include suspension or expulsion when the behavior is severe or pervasive as defined in Education Code 48900.4. Any employee who permits or engages in prohibited discrimination shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to, and including, dismissal.
