Phillips, and the vice principals are Mr. Cox and Ms. Canada. The school is part of the Morongo Unified School District. Yucca Valley High School has very successful wrestling and cross country progams.
Yucca Valley High School is one of the only high schools that used the trimester system in the 2003-2004 school year. Under the trimester system, there are three trimesters in a year instead of two semesters, and only five classes per day rather than six. YVHS is reverting back to the semester system for the 2004-2005 school year after seven years on the trimester system.
