Temecula Valley High School, known by locals as TV, is a public high school for grades 9 to 12 in Temecula, California. The school opened in 1985 as the city's first high 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 order to keep up with increasing enrollment, the school has undergone several changes. 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.

In 2024, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and Riverside Fire Department used Temecula Valley High School as an evacuation center during the Nixon Fire.^[4]

The Temecula Valley's wrestling team won its 31st consecutive league title in 2019, and has won 36 CIF titles, and 3 Masters titles.^[5]

Temecula Valley High School features more than 60 clubs and student organizations. Of these, three are predominately competitive: CyberPatriots; Mock Trial; and Science Olympiad.

There are two academic groups, California Scholarship Federation and National Honor Society.^[6]

In 2023, Temecula Valley High School's CyberPatriots won the 5th Annual California Mayors Cyber Cup, securing a ceremony at Temecula City Hall for the team "Crypto Scammers".^[7]
