Canyons School District started its work to create a college-going culture in schools with its youngest students, who are taking their first steps into education this week. Kindergartners placed their handprints on “I will be college-ready” banner. They also wore mortarboards and received pledge “diplomas” and wristbands from Superintendent David Doty and Director of K-16 Student Achievement in Elementary Schools Tamra Baker, who also wore their caps and gowns.

Canyons School District strives to create a college-going culture in schools and ensure that all children are prepared for post-secondary education, whether they seek career certification or university studies. The District will deliver this message first to Canyons’ youngest students. This year’s kindergartners, the Class of 2022, are the first to be part of the new district from kindergarten through high school graduation.
