PTSA

The mission of the California State PTA is to positively impact the lives of all children and families. The goals are to:

Promote, build and expand parent/family engagement
Empower and support PTSA members and leaders
Represent, inform and mobilize members and the public to advocate for the education, health, safety and well-being of all children

The Canyon PTSA is committed to implementing these goals. The board and committees have been working hard on programs that are available to all our students.

Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week for the 2019-2020 school year will focus on an anti-vaping campaign with classroom presentations in all health classes by America on Track. America on Track will also offer a booth during nutrition for all students to learn about the dangers of vaping.

Campus Beautification

The goal of the program is to clean up, spruce up and beautify Canyon High School. Parent volunteers, student volunteers and community service groups work together to beautify Canyon High School. Some tasks include general trash pick up, weeding, mulching, painting and planting. Service hours will be given to students. This year, we will have Campus Beautification Day on Feb. 9th, 2019

Every Fifteen Minutes

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.
