Brooklyn's picture is a truly outstanding representation of this years theme, "The First Amendment from the Bill of Rights." Brooklyns name and school will appear in this years Freedom Festival Magazine as well as the Freedom Festival website. Congratulations to Brooklyn on this honor. Congrats to Coach Lexi Gagon and the Golf Team on a 2nd place finish at the 6A State Tournament. It was a hard fought battle between the top three teams. At the end of the day, Davis, Lone Peak, and Corner Canyon were all within one stroke of each other. The girls had to finish the day with sudden death playoff for second place. They faced Lone Peak head to head for a three hole battle. At the conclusion of the third playoff hole, the Chargers walked away with the second place trophy.
The following girls represented Corner Canyon at the state tournament: Savannah Romney Victoria Romney Alyssa Meadows Ellie Whitehead Bella Boman Laney Ross Savannah Romney ended up taking 6th individually, and her sister, Victoria Romney, ended up taking 7th individually!

Thank you so much. Dear Parents of an Online 9th and/or 10th Grade Students,
Canyons School District continues to embrace an academic plan with the goal that all students will gain the skills they need to be successful in college and careers. Next month, your student will join high school students throughout Utah in taking the new Utah Aspire Plus exam. The Aspire test was designed by ACT and Pearson, Inc. with the goal of providing students a chance to practice taking timed tests in preparation for the ACT college-entrance exam. Utah Aspire Plus scores are predictive of a student’s performance on the ACT. All Aspire testing will be done IN-PERSON, at your neighborhood/home base school. This is necessary because of the requirements of the platform in which the test is taken. Online administration is not possible. All details to the specific procedures, as well as times and days, can be found below. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact your student’s assistant principal. The Utah Aspire Plus will be administered: Monday, April 19th - Friday, April 23rd. Online Class Test Dates and Times Testing Location English 9 Monday 4/19 & Wednesday 4/21 at 9:24 - 10:52 a.m. N219 English 10 Monday, 4/19 & Wednesday 4/21 at 1:02 p.m. - 2:25 p.m. N225 Secondary Math I Tuesday, 4/20 at 1:02 p.m. - 2:25 p.m. S214 Secondary Math II Monday, 4/19 at 1:02 p.m. - 2:25 p.m. S214 Earth Science Wednesday, 4/21 at 7:55 a.m. - 9:18 a.m. S101 Chemistry Wednesday, 4/21 1:02 p.m. - 2:22 p.m. S120 Biology Thursday, 4/22 at 7:55 a.m. - 9:18 a.m. S106 Physics Wednesday, 4/21 1:02 p.m. - 2:25 p.m. S103 Make up testing Friday, 4/22 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Atrium Your student will be receiving more information through Canvas from their online teachers a week prior to the Aspire test. The main office of your home base school will also have this information for your convenience. The Aspire test must be taken on your student’s school issued Chromebook. Please make sure that your student’s device is fully charged and that your student brings their device to school the day of testing. Please make a special effort to ensure your child arrives on time that day, is well-rested, and ready to do his or her best on the exam. The exam will provide you with feedback on your student’s college- and career-readiness, and help you to pinpoint which courses will best help him or her achieve one of Canyons’ college and career-ready diplomas. It is also a good time to have discussions with your student on their short-term and long-term goals. Having goals upon which to focus is important for all of us. The state has nice resources to support you and your child’s planning, https://www.utahfutures.org . Thank you for your attention, and for partnering with us in the education of your child. CCHS Administration Coach Eric Kjar was honored by the UHSAA Distinquished Service Award Selection Committee as the 2020 Recipient of the 6A Coach of the Year Award.
Coach Devin Moody was selected by the NFHS Coaches Association as the 2019-2020 Utah Boys Cross country Coach of the Year. Corner Canyon wants to congratulate both coaches on their achievements. They were selected based on their coaching performances, lifetime community involvement, school involvement and philosophy of coaching. Both coaches are considered leaders in their sports by their colleagues. Thank you Coach Kjar and Coach Moody for all of your time and dedication to the athletes and students at Corner Canyon. Corner Canyon’s teacher of the year is Rebecca Hill. Rebecca has been a Charger for 6 years. She is the teacher we all wanted in high school. Her lessons are well planned with supports and challenges. Her class is always running on high energy while creating a safe learning environment for all students. The success of her students is her top priority. As the Department Chair, she is a voice for students and teachers. She goes above and beyond behind the scenes to create a culture of learning where everyone can be successful. She excels at being a leader in BLT constantly advocating for her department and staying positive.
As one student explained, “Mrs. Hill worked very hard with me and others to master college level concepts during a pandemic. During the semester we transitioned between in-person and online multiple times. I had moments of extreme challenges and frustration. Learning math online is very frustrating and made me cry at times. Mrs. Hill is the only reason I passed this course. I emailed her numerous times on questions, tips, etc. and she responded every time quickly. She has worked so hard and made difference for me in this course.” It is clear to everyone that Mrs. Hill has had a positive impact in the lives of the students she has taught and the teachers she works with. Rebecca is quite simply lives by our CHARGE motto. Care, Honor, Achieve, Respect, Give, Engage. She is always professional, approachable, and quite simply amazing and Corner Canyon is proud to have her as our 2020-2021 Teacher of the Year. Canyons District is accepting applications for a new peer court panel. If you are interested in law, restorative justice, civics, politics OR just want to get involved in our community, this is a great opportunity to do just that.

More details and information to come. * See “Awards and Recognition” under the Student/Family tab on cchs.canyonsdistrict.org We know that you are eagerly anticipating your graduation this spring and wanted to send a quick update on our plans. Currently we are planning a drive-through ceremony, as proposed to the school board last month. This celebration would include walking across a stage at the front of the school in cap and gown while parents and loved ones watch from their vehicle. With limitations on venue availability and capacity at this time, a drive-through celebration is the best way to give you your big moment and the ability to share it with as many people as possible. However, since we recognize that things can change quickly this year, we are going to wait a few weeks before we make any of our graduation plans final. The week after spring break, we will hold an assembly for the seniors where we will present the options available based on regulations and capacity limits at that time. Following the assembly, we will send a survey with those options to the graduates so that our CCHS Class of 2021 can give input on the ways they envision best celebrating their graduation and all their accomplishments. In the meantime, sit tight and keep soaking up all the great moments of your senior year. We are so proud of everything you have overcome this year and we want you to know that we are working hard to plan a graduation for you that feels momentous and special. The CCHS Class of 2021 has proven that they are unstoppable and we can’t wait to celebrate with you! |
