An ideal candidate is someone who is flexible, dependable, and able to give positive constructive feedback. Public speaking and/or debate experience is preferred but not necessary.

Starting in August, all Canyons elementary, middle, and high schools will release roughly 90 minutes early on Fridays.

Classes end 12:03pm and Lunch is 12:03pm-12:33pm. Buses pick up at 12:33. All doors except main office doors will be locked, and students will not be allowed to stay in the building.
