Golden Valley is committed to a legacy of high expectations where all students are given the opportunity to participate and succeed.  The heart of #BulldogSTRONG is rooted in the ideal of demonstrating GROWTH, PRIDE, and SERVICE (GPS) in all aspects of school and life.  This map to success serves as a guide for maximizing student potential in the classroom, campus, and community.  Academically, the school continues to focus on literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving, and college/career readiness skills.

In addition to a rigorous academic program, Golden Valley has activities and athletic teams for every student.  Part of a well-rounded high school experience includes involvement in activities outside of the classroom.  Our athletic programs, academic competition teams, computer gaming teams, visual and performing arts, student government, FFA, and other student clubs and programs offer opportunities for students with a wide variety of interests.  Early in the school year, Golden Valley will hold a club and activity day for students to sign up for any of these opportunities.
