The detectors are mobile and will also be utilized for entry into the school for things such as theater performances or sporting events.

Please review the CVHS Weapon Detector Policy.

Our school has adopted The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Students and staff will be training, practicing, and drilling the protocol.

• The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is based on an all hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. Like the Incident Command System (ICS), SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol.

Dear Canyon View Families,

Welcome to the Canyon View High School community! We are thrilled to have you join us as we begin another exciting academic year.

At Canyon View, we prioritize co-curricular activities to aid in the growth and development of our students. In just three graduating classes, we have had multiple students sign to compete at the DI, DII, DIII, NAIA, and Juco levels. This past year alone, our students brought home three State Championships, three State Runner-Up titles, and numerous honors from state tournaments.

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond athletics. Our students excel academically and are active participants in service clubs such as BSU and Key Club. The importance of community and leading with high character is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to embody the Jaguar Way, emphasizing Innovation, Diversity, Character, Community and Pride.

We look forward to a fantastic year ahead and are excited to see our students continue to thrive both in and out of the classroom.
