Green Valley High School was the first high school since 1976 to open in Clark County School District. Green Valley was the largest school in Nevada for three years. But as the number of schools in the district has increased to over forty schools, Green Valley's zoned area has decreased, greatly impacting the size of the school's population.

In 2008, Green Valley became the first high school in the CCSD to randomly test its students for drugs. This was because a student athlete was apprehended with black tar heroin.

Former President of the United States Bill Clinton toured the school in January 2008 before the 2008 Nevada Democratic caucuses. In 2010, President of the United States Barack Obama held a Town Hall Meeting at Green Valley High School. In 2014, former principal Jeff Horn moved to Assistant Chief Student Achievement Officer over GVHS and Kent Roberts became the new principal.
