Temecula Valley High School is a public high school for grades 9-12 in Temecula, California. The school opened in 1985 as the city's first high school, along with Margarita Middle School and Temecula Elementary School. When it was built, it was a part of the Elsinore Union High School District (now the Lake Elsinore Unified School District) until the Temecula Valley Unified School District was founded. It is a California Distinguished School.
In its first year the school's attendance consisted of 350 students and 17 teachers. Over the years, attendance has increased to over 3,000.
In August 2007, Temecula Valley High opened a new multimillion-dollar gym.
In May 2013, Temecula Valley High School completed a multimillion-dollar performing arts center.
In February 2015 a renovation of the Stadium was completed changing the field to turf rather than grass.
