Pinole Valley High School was dubbed "Portable Valley High" by the students and community as the high school had been housed in temporary portables at the site of Creekside Park. The temporary campus served high-school students in Pinole and surrounding areas for over five years from 2014 until 2019. The temporary campus was plagued with problems such as rodent infestations, constant disrepair and flooding, which came to an end as the new campus came into fruition.

After five years, a temporary campus, and over 200ドル million, Pinole Valley High School opened its new campus on August 12, 2019, with Principal Kibby Kleiman in tow to cut the ribbon.[5]
