Kankakee Valley High School is a public secondary school serving grades 9–12 in Wheatfield Township, Indiana. It is the only high school in the Kankakee Valley School Corporation.

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.^[4] 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]}
