The Amador Valley Wind Ensembles have performed at national venues and conferences, including Carnegie Hall and the Midwest Clinic.

As of 2020, Amador Valley has offered its 2,700 students 24 Advanced Placement courses, 26 varsity sports, vocational training, and a variety of extracurriculars.

Founded as Amador Valley Joint Union High School (AVJUHS), the school graduated its first class in 1923. Major construction and renovations were undertaken after district voters approved bonds in 1922, 1965, 1997, and 2016.
