Our Faculty

Meet the passionate scholars guiding our students to achieve

Great teachers make for great schools, and in Canyons we are fortunate to work with the best in the business. More than half of CDS’s 1,700 faculty members have a master’s or doctoral degree, and many hold adjunct teaching positions at local colleges and universities. Our schools are home to published scientists, professional artists, successful business owners and public office holders. They love what they do and their reach extends beyond the classroom through their service on state, regional, and national Boards, commissions, and professional associations.
