TEDxValenciaHighSchool is a non-profit event that is licensed through Tara Filowitz via Valencia High School. The Event has led to the formation of the TEDxVHS Club at Valencia High School - where students can be a part of the putting on the event, even if they are not selected to be a speaker. The program has evolved into a public speaking platform that has given our students a voice on a global scale. All set development & marketing is contingent upon student fundraising & generous donations make by the local community and all participating students are from pylusd, or recent graduates of pylusd.
