Seal of Biliteracy
Can you speak more than one language? If so, consider it a badge of honor and consider applying for the Seal of Biliteracy! The Seal of Biliteracy is a designation from the Utah State Office of Education that signals a student’s demonstrated proficiency in English and a world language. Students are encouraged to apply their junior year, but all juniors and seniors who are proficient in English and a world language are eligible to apply starting Monday, Nov 2nd. The application window closes Saturday, January 16. Please see the flyers below for more info.
AP Exams
If you want to sign up for an AP exam, please make sure you don’t miss the deadline and incur late fees. Registration is two stages and both stages must be completed to have an exam ordered.
Please contact Ms. Mertz at miri.mertz@canyonsdistrict.org with any questions.

It is a fantastic way to build your resume, earn volunteer hours, and develop real-world leadership skills.
