For much of the school's history, Panther Valley High School served students in grades nine through twelve. In 2015, a two-story annex was built, and grades seven and eight were moved into the building from the Intermediate School. Following this change, the school's official name was changed to "Panther Valley Junior Senior High School," though it is often referred to simply as "Panther Valley High School."
The building houses six science labs, thirty general classrooms, an art room, a music room, an industrial arts shop, an auditorium with accompanying large-group classrooms, a gymnasium with locker rooms, and a cafeteria.
