OLD COMPOSITE PICTURES
Chandler Brigham, Parker Reed, Corbin Thacker, Mason Cohn, Stephen Ousley, and Rafael Mendoza have been working together on past class composites. Valley View Schools was established in 1926. In past reunions, many classes have not been able to access their class composites due to safe keeping so they are preserved longer. Our school purchased a hanging Flip book, made of metal panels with easy entry to scan at the composites over the years. We have taken the composites out of their frames and made digital copies of each person and their class. We have grouped them by years and pointed out the student council, valedictorian, salutatorian, etc. This is for future reference or the preservation of each class incase were to happen to a certain composite board. We have cut and made them able to fit into the protection panels and hung them up. This project has really been an experience looking back on past alumni and how the school has grown.

They are losing seven seniors this year, but they will still be good in the years to come. Good luck boys with the remainder of the season.

GPS Mapping
Valley View has been experiencing a series of growing pains over the past 10 years. A new Elementary, Pre-K, and High School have all been built since 2005 when the class of 2018 started attending. Since then, Valley View has grown at exponential rates, neighborhoods being built and moved into faster and faster. The most recent of neighborhoods, Jamestown/Sistine Chapel, is still in the process of being finished but, most of it is finished and inhabited. The only problem is that the entire neighborhood does not show up on any GPS or map application. This can be very problematic for city administrators or bus drivers earning the new routes. Using ARCGIS collector app, we plotted a series points through all streets that do not appear on Google or Apple maps, the most commonly used map applications. Over the course of two weeks we created a detailed map of the area. This includes street names and in the process of construction to future-proof our map for the time being.
