Valley Torah High School

Valley Torah High School is an Orthodox Jewish high school located in North Hollywood, California, a northern suburb of Los Angeles. The school has a two separate divisions: a boys division, and a girls division. The Dean and Rosh Yeshiva is Rabbi Avraham Stulburger. The Boys Division Principal is Rabbi Dovid Felt. The Girls Division Principal is Rachel Grossman. The Secular Studies Principal for both divisions is Randy Rutschman.

Valley Torah is theologically aligned with the Chofetz Chaim school of thought. This religious philosophy is rooted in the Mussar movement of 19th century Lithuanian Jewry. The teachings of Mussar emphasize the need for human beings to constantly strive for self improvement, thereby allowing them to become closer to God.[1] This approach to life is articulated during the Rosh Yeshiva's weekly Mussar Shmooze (sermon) to all divisions.

The Valley Torah Wolfpack won the 2011 Division 6AA CIF basketball championship, becoming the first Jewish school in Southern California to ever earn a CIF title.
