About

Kankakee Valley High School is a part of the Kankakee Valley School Corporation and is located in northern Jasper County Indiana. The school was opened in 1971 as a merger between the DeMotte and Wheatfield High Schools in an effort to provide a higher quality of education to the area.

The school district (of which this is the sole comprehensive high school) includes Wheatfield, DeMotte, and the Jasper County portion of Roselawn. The school does not represent one single town or city, but rather incorporates students primarily^{[citation needed]} from the surrounding communities of DeMotte and Wheatfield as well as a multitude of unincorporated communities such as Stoutsburg, Kniman, and Fair Oaks.^{[citation needed]}
