Adventure

Educators have the hearts of adventurers, and many adventures await Canyons School District’s 2022 retirees. More than 90 colleagues — teachers, support staff, and administrators — have decided to make this year with Canyons their last. Some have devoted 40 years or more to Utah’s public school system, and many have worked for Canyons since the District’s inception in 2009. All have contributed to our success. The Canyons Board of Education and Administration salute these dedicated professionals for their years of service. Because of their belief that every student can achieve, Canyons has become a district of national distinction in so many ways. Because of their push for excellence, student test scores and graduation rates have risen to surpass the state average and continue, with each passing year, to climb. Because of their conscientious stewardship of public resources, the District has brought needed safety upgrades to dozens of schools while maintaining the highest-possible bond rating. Together, while helping children chase their adventures, they have made a difference for generations to come. The following Canyons employees took part in a banquet to celebrate their time with the District and share some of the stories they’ll remember in the years to come.
