We are the Valiant College Preparatory Warriors!

#valiantspirit

From humble beginnings in 2018 to a nationally recognized academic and athletic program today, the story of Valiant College Preparatory begins with the three founders that wanted to provide a different option to wrestlers: Eric Larkin, Mike Douglas, and Eric Pawlak.

Eric Larkin and Mike Douglas brought their passion for wrestling and the desire to compete for championships beyond the State of Arizona, and Eric Pawlak had the experience in education to help the school receive its accreditation and thrive in the challenging environment of starting a new school. The dream of starting an independent school that was not limited in scale, ambition, or purpose was realized when the first classroom was filled with students on day one.

Together, the leaders of this school have more than tripled enrollment and thrived through the pandemic. They have brought in the coaches, teachers, and staff required to continue growing as they look to the future; expanded campuses, affiliate partners, and world championships!

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Our students regularly test near the top of all proficiency categories for education in the State of Arizona. With Universities like Arizona State, Stanford, Cornell, North Carolina, and Iowa State recruiting our students, you can be confident we are achieving academic excellence consistently.

ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE

Valiant College Preparatory has produced multiple All Americans, National Champions, and World Team Members to date with more highly ranked wrestlers on their way to the national and world spotlight in the near future.

NATIONAL EXPOSURE

“In high school wrestling, people see Blair Academy, Wyoming Seminary, and Buchanan as the top wrestling programs. Yet, Valiant College Preparatory is beginning to crack radars in their early existence.”

– Flowrestling – Jan 21, 2021 by Nick Zeller-Singh
