They are the people on the front lines. They teach, lead, volunteer, inspire.
Every day during the school year, a dedicated corps of teachers, administrators, bus drivers, technology experts financial wizards, and lunch, office, and custodial staffs, as well as scores of classroom volunteers, work together as a team to run Canyons’ schools.
The day-to-day operations may appear seamless: Buses roll on schedule, teachers engage with students, office run like clockwork, meals are served, counselors provide support, and custodial and maintenance crews make sure the buildings are cleaned and readied for the next day. But it wouldn’t happen without the good work and expertise of the people who make Canyons strong.
For their contributions, hard work, and dedication to advancing the mission and vision of Canyons District, the Board of Education and Administration seek to recognize the best of the best with the highest awards given in CSD.
Canyons District is now taking nominations for the 2023 Apex Awards, the annual recognitions given by CSD leaders to teachers, administrators, district office personnel, volunteers, and community partners.
The District is accepting nominations for the following award categories:
- School Administrator of the Year
- District Administrator of the Year
- Business Partner of the Year
- Volunteer of the Year

Use this easy-to-use online tool to read more about the categories and to submit nominations. Nominations can be submitted until Aug. 7, 2023.
An Apex Award is also given to CSD’s Teacher of the Year. The Canyons District’s Teacher of the Year is selected in the spring and is CSD’s nominee in the state Teacher of the Year competition. This year’s winner is Max Eddington, a mathematics teacher at Midvale Middle. He was selected from a field of 47 teachers from every CSD school in the District.
The winners of the 2023 Apex Awards are celebrated at a by-invitation-only reception and awards ceremony in the fall.
