  • Spartans Tearing up the Track

    Paul Driver and the Spartan track team blazed through the St. Mary's meet this past week and brought home a number of record scores and times. We have a busy week ahead after wrapping up a weekend that featured baseball beating Washington 4-3 after trailing by three. The golf team also scored big with Matt Choi, our athlete of the week, carding the best individual score of the match. Softball has three games scheduled on the road, tennis boys are back in action and so too volleyball, badminton and more. Join us

  • Color Guard represents!

    Check out the crew! The latest Pinole Valley squad took another top five finish this weekend at the Color Guard competition as they continue to rack up awards and applause across the Bay. The performance is a whodunit mystery features the twirling flags, swords and rifles that involves the audience in solving the mystery. We are looking forward to putting on our show for our Open House celebration on Thursday night in the big gym. The color guard hopes to hone their show for the spring circuit and recruit for next year as well

  • Art Show Tonight!

    Friday night from 6:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m. all are invited to our International Baccalaureate showcase in the lobby of our Performing Arts space. We welcome the entire Pinole Valley community to come see the work of our senior art students. The art is only part of the show. We have a wide variety of works, from sketches to ceramics, and in common are thoughtful and thought provoking student essays as they are articulating a vision about what their works mean and what they are trying to say. One of our favorite things about the show is that there is no template or standard--meaning each kid's art is unique and follows them down their own pathway. You'll see what we mean. This is more than 'advanced' art, it is art with a message. We invite you in to our portfolios and our vision. Be a part of Art!

  • Graduate profile: Principled Students

    Each one of the graduate profiles from IB relate to us as well. We are looking for teachers and staff to nominate students who when given a choice do the right thing. You don't have to be an "IB student" to be selected. If you know of someone who when faced with a moral quandary makes the ethical choice, we want to highlight them this week.

  • Artist of the Day: Kayla Ortega

    This image was created in Photoshop and uses the low poly method of creating triangles and filling them with color. This project stands out because of the attention to detail and the color combination. The work and others being produced are part of our Spring art blitz at Pinole Valley. We encourage all of our community to come to school on Friday March 17 to our IB Art show being held in the lobby of the A building from 6:00-8:00 p.m. for all to see.

  • Badminton hosts DeAnza today

    One of our favorite spring sports takes center court today. The Spartan badminton team is in action this afternoon hosting DeAnza. We have boys and girls singles, then boys and girls in both doubles and mixed doubles too, PV has a fierce young squad that took eight matches last week on the road and hopes to improve that mark today against the league rival. If you haven't seen badminton, today is the day to fix that. Might be too rainy to see real birds, but the ones in the gym fly fast and keep coming back

  • It's Your Move

    The Chess club knows that Pinole Valley is home to dozens of casual and not so casual fans of chess and this week, we invite all who play to join the March madness of our first tournament. The variety of players is part of what makes the competition so fun. We see kids playing at lunch, after school and sometimes during class. They play with physical boards, online and it cuts across every group at school. So the real winner is the game itself. Sign up and head to D 303 and grab a board, chess is up!

  • Artist of the Day: Sarah Norris

    This is just one of Sarah Norris’ pieces that you might not have ever seen. This is because Sarah, who creates some of the most amazing works of art, decides to shelf about 2/3rds of her masterpieces. Come see the works that meet her standards and find out why at the IB Art Show next Friday at 6 PM in the Performing Arts Lobby. This is a great opportunity to see what the students in IB Visual Arts have been up to for the last two years and congratulate them on their hard work.

  • Spring Show is Set!

    In a spooky graveyard, the darkly lovely Claudia, a Guardian of Dark Tales, retells famous horror stories much to the delight of her lumpy husband, Igor. As she tells classics such as "Dracula", "Frankenstein", "The Three Werewolves", "Jekyll and Hyde", "The Tragic Tale of the Mummy", and "The Three Witches", the characters come to life. However, the stories are all a bit different than we expect. In fact, instead of being terrifying, they are actually quite humorous. Characters behave in unexpected ways, accidents occur, but all turns out well. You will see Pinole Valley students on stage performing in our beautiful theater. Join us for all the fun. March 24-25

Both teams square off this week, with the boys home and the girls on the road. While all that is happening golf, tennis, volleyball, track, badminton and swim will be in action too.
