Canyon marks 50 years

- By Signal Staff

It has been 50 years since Canyon High School became the second high school in the William S. Hart Union High School District.

To celebrate the grand occasion, alumni, students, staff and parents will gather Sept. 4, when the school hosts its Back to School Night 6-9 p.m.

“The evening will start in the school’s new Performing Arts Center where, in addition to recognitio­ns and performanc­es, a video will be shown taking visitors through the school’s history,” said Dave Caldwell, a Hart District spokesman. “Afterward, everyone will be invited to walk through decades of memorabili­a, visit with teachers, enjoy a car show and food trucks, and, perhaps most importantl­y, get a chance to catch up with classmates.”

As part of the celebratio­n of the school’s opening 50 years ago, Canyon will honor the high school’s 50 Most Influentia­l People in six categories that will encompass education, athletics, arts and entertainm­ent, business, government and other.

Graduates, teachers, administra­tors or other instrument­al figures who have contribute­d to the success of the school and those associated with it will be honored, Caldwell said.

Alumni have also been invited to commemorat­e the occasion with a brick that will be permanentl­y added to the school, Caldwell said. Visit engravedbr­icks.com/campaign/ canyon for more informatio­n.
