Choices and Consequences and Every 15 Minutes: Every 15 Minutes is a 2-day event for high school juniors and seniors. The program challenges them to think about the consequences of drinking and driving, personal safety, the responsibility of making mature decisions, and the impact their decision have on family, friends and many others. The program brings together a broad coalition of interested local agencies with the goal of reducing alcohol-related incidents among the youths. Canyon High School, local law enforcement, local businesses and local service groups validate the importance of working together to ensure a healthy community. Choices and Consequences brings the court justice system to our campus. A real court proceeding will play out in front of the juniors and seniors with a judge, a defendant and a lawyer. The goal of the program is show the consequences of drinking and driving. These 2 programs will be presented in alternating years.

PTSA is proud to be able to provide seminars and speakers to educate parents on relevant topics. In the past, we have had speakers in the following areas: Planning for college, Drugs and Drug Abuse, Mental Wellness, Teens and Technology (Cell phones, social media, etc). If there is particular subject that interest you, please let us know.
