The pre-K-12 school is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon. Until 1991, it was an all-girls school and was named '''St. Mary of the Valley Academy''' (colloquially known as "St. Mary's"), but at the start of the 1991–1992 school year boys were admitted for the first time, and the school was renamed Valley Catholic School.<ref name="oreg-2008dec21">{{cite news|last=Holley|first=David|title=With fewer answering the call, sisters are rare in classrooms|newspaper=The Oregonian|date=December 21, 2008}}</ref>
