TRADITIONAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY

High School

A. Canyons School District supports five comprehensive high school locations and programs. Four of those high schools operate within a two-semester academic year. Each semester runs on a block schedule: an eight-period schedule composed of two, four-period blocks, with each block meeting every other day. One high school (Brighton) operates on a trimester schedule.

B. All high schools offer various levels of coursework to meet individual student needs, with an ample selection of elective course options.

C. All comprehensive high school locations offer a wide variety of student activity and athletic programs. The Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) sponsors athletic teams and competitions. Not all athletic and activity teams are sponsored by UHSAA. Students may have the opportunity to earn high school graduation credit for UHSAA sponsored athletics and activities only by meeting school, district, and UHSAA requirements. A listing of the athletic opportunities is available on each individual high school website. A complete list of athletics and activities sponsored by UHSAA can be found via their website at www.uhsaa.org. See page 10 for more details
