This site is designed to assist you in planning for your upcoming Senior Activities. These activities are specifically for graduating seniors and are listed in the order that you will need to pay attention to them. Please note the events and details of each. If you have any questions, please contact Sr. Herincx in the ASB office or email at gherincx@hartdistrict.org.
To the Class of 2024:
We have prepared the Senior Handbook to highlight the activities and events that we hope will take place during your senior year at Canyon High School. We encourage you to participate in and enjoy as many events as possible, once we are able to put them on the calendar. Please remember, the expectation is that all students will make positive decisions and follow all school rules throughout this last year to ensure that you do not miss out on any of these memorable senior activities and experiences.
Take pride in not only what you have accomplished while at Canyon High School, but also what you’ve achieved beyond academics and co-curricular accomplishments. I hope that some of the most significant lessons you have learned over the past few years were outside of the classroom walls. I’m confident that each of you possesses the courage, character, and competency to achieve whatever aspirations you set for yourself. I encourage you to set the bar high. Expect nothing less of yourself than a first-rate performance as you first walk across the stage and then down the pathways of life. I look forward to seeing each and every one of you crossing the stage at your commencement ceremony and congratulating you on a job well done.
Your future started here! Build on that foundation and continue to develop the skills necessary to meet the challenge of life and find your own personal success stories.
I look forward to participating with you in many of these activities, culminating with GRADUATION.
Best of luck!
Shellie Holcombe

Seniors who drive to school and intend to park on campus must register their vehicles and purchase a permit in the ASB office for $45 with an ASB Card and $55 without an ASB Card. You must present: your driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Citations will be issued to vehicles without permits, improperly parked, or parked in the faculty-reserved slots. Students who violate parking lot regulations will face disciplinary measures and may lose the privilege to park in the Student Parking Lot. Permits are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, and space is extremely limited.
All District requirements must be met before the school can certify graduation. Seniors failing to meet graduation requirements cannot participate in the Graduation Ceremony or any Senior Class Activity. Non-grads are not eligible for refunds for any Senior events for which they may have prepaid.
Any Senior failing a required course may make it up in summer school which starts on July 1st. Students needing to repeat Government and Economics classes may choose to take it during summer school.

Time to order your Cap & Gown and other senior class memorabilia: https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/customer/1007505/Canyon-High-School/
All students will order a green cap and gown. We will switch out the green for our Honors Scholars who earn the white cap and gown. An Honor Scholar is a student who earns a cumulative GPA of 4.0 or higher by March 5 of their senior year.
Seniors are asked to contribute to the special details of their graduation ceremony in the following ways:
Speaker - Besides the valedictorian, we have a representative from the Senior class address the Class of 2024 and the spectators. Please review the guidelines and due date and start drafting your message!
Audio Tributes - The Class of 2024 has an opportunity to thank those who assisted in their journey to Graduation. Please review the details and submit the audio file.
Diplomas will be available to pick up at the horsehoe driveway at Canyon High School in the days following the Graduation Ceremony.
School rules and regulations are expected to be followed at all senior activities. A student possessing any controlled substance or being under the influence at any senior event will be suspended from school and may be excluded from subsequent activities, including the graduation ceremony. Appropriate behavior and regular school attendance is expected in order to participate in senior activities.
Students who have not cleared their textbook and library obligations will not receive their cap & gown or graduation tickets. After Spring Break, only cash will be accepted if the textbook is not replaced.
Senior Recognition Night honors seniors for various accomplishments throughout the last 4 years. Representatives from outside agencies, universities, military, and faculty departments will present scholarships and awards. Seniors invited to the ceremony will receive recognition. Parents of those seniors being honored will receive an invitation and link to the event.
