.xx-Q-xr When a handful of high desert pioneers broke ground 31 years ago for Victor Valley High School, they probably never imagined that it would one day be only one of four highschools in the high desert and that the school district would swell to a student population of 7,000. Victorville remained a quiet, secluded town for many years and the high school served students from many outposts in the vastness of the desert in an attendance area that stretched from Lucerne Valley to Adelanto and Apple Valley to Phelan. However, in the late 60's many persons 'down the hill ' ' saw an opportunity in the high desert to raise their families in clean air and in the beauty of the desert. An exodus began and the population exploded directly affecting the schools ability to serve so many new students. It grew to the point that in 1967, Apple Valley High School was built and 623 students brolze ties with Victor Valley High School to begin their lives as Sun Devils. In 1977, it happened again as Serrano High School opened its doors to 410 former Jaclzrabbits. The Diamondbacks even broke away from the Victor Valley Union High School District to form the Snowline District. Most recently, it happened for the third time in seven years, and students were taken from Victor Valley to form Hesperia High School with 1,323 Scorpions in school on Septem- ber 10, 1984. The pains and joys of this continuous growth are a colorful part of high desert history, but now it's time for us to look home. Time to look at the roots of all this growth. It is time for Victor Valley High to Begin a NEW ERA.
