Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox school Española Valley High School (EVHS) is a Title-1 public senior high school of the Española Public Schools District, located in Española, New Mexico. Nearly 97% of the student body is made up of minority enrollment.

The school's athletic teams are referred to as the Sundevils, which is also the school's mascot.

History

Española was founded with the introduction of the railroads in 1880; with the railroads came an influx in population, private education existed until 1905, when the county saw a demand for public education. Two high schools opened, Santa Cruz High School just right out outside of Española in 1908, and Española High School opened in downtown in 1920. The schools were located on opposite sides of the Rio Grande.

Although both schools weren't operated by the same school district, administrators believed merger of schools was cost effective and would end a bitter rivalry between both schools. Months later construction of EVHS school began, the location for the new school was on the El Llano mesa, on Española's east side. Doors opened to 10–12th graders in the fall semester of 1975 to over 950 students. The first graduating class was 1976, Merce Villareal was the first principal.

While the new campus was under construction sporting events remained at the old Española High School due to a lack of funds. In 1979 a new sports complex was finally complete at the new high school campus along with the school's large gymnasium, known today as "Del Valdez Court at Edward Medina Gymnasium", it is the largest High school gymnasium in New Mexico.
