A modernized "quad" was also among the list of projects, serving as a center of campus life and a common location of school activities. Funding for these improvements was provided by Measure A, which was approved by local voters in 2008.Valencia is the International Baccalaureate (IB) magnet school in PYLUSD. The school also hosts an advanced technology program called Val Tech, in which students must complete an internship during the summer between their junior and senior years.
