The Valley Torah Wolfpack won the 2011 Division 6AA CIF basketball championship, becoming the first Jewish school in Southern California to ever earn a CIF title and the only orthodox Jewish school to do so.[3]
The Wolfpack have also won three national Jewish tournaments: Memphis Cooper,[4] Glouberman,[5] and the Red Sarachek Touranment at Yeshiva University. [6] They are the only Jewish school to accomplish all three feats.
