Goleta Valley Junior High School is a public junior high school in Goleta, California, just northwest of Santa Barbara, California. It serves a student body of approximately 785 students in 7-8 grades, and employs roughly fifty-five teachers as part of the Santa Barbara School Districts.[4] Goleta Valley Junior High School ("GVJH" or simply "GV") is a National Blue Ribbon School.[5] Goleta Valleys' school mascot is the Mariner. Students are divided into four houses (as is done commonly in the United Kingdom): Sea Monkeys, Golden Vikings, Pirates, and Buccaneers. Houses often compete for House Points in traditional school spirit events, the winning house claiming the school's "Mariner Cup."
