Welcome
Coordinator's Message
It is my absolute pleasure to welcome each of you to the start of the 2026–2027 school year here at Jose A. Valdez High School. Whether you are a returning student, a new Falcon, a member of our faculty, or a valued staff member, we are excited that you are here and ready to begin another incredible journey together. This year, our theme is Breaking Barriers. Every one of us faces obstacles, whether academic, personal, or emotional, but those barriers do not define us. At Valdez High School, we believe they can be overcome through perseverance, support, and opportunity. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to ensure every student feels capable, empowered, and a valued part of Falconland. We are committed to creating a school where every student is seen, heard, respected, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Here, your past does not determine your future. Instead, your determination, your resilience, and your willingness to grow will shape the path ahead. To our students: Know that you belong here. You are surrounded by educators and staff who believe in you, who will challenge you, support you, and celebrate every success along the way. We ask only one thing in return—that you believe in yourself as much as we believe in you. To our faculty and staff: Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our students and to one another. Every conversation, every lesson, every word of encouragement, and every act of kindness has the power to change a life. Together, we will continue building a culture where barriers become breakthroughs and every Falcon has the opportunity to soar. As we begin this new school year, let us embrace every challenge as an opportunity to grow. Let us lift one another up, celebrate our achievements, and remain united in our purpose of helping every student succeed. Welcome home, Falcons. Let's make this our best year yet as we continue Breaking Barriers and equipping one another with the Tools for Success. Here's to an amazing 2026–2027 school year! Falcons are Soaring to New Horizons! 🪽✨ Hopeful and Ready, Ms. Aida Ponce
