In March of 2023, the Canyon Vista Middle School counseling program earned the coveted, national award from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) known as "RAMP" which stands for "Recognized ASCA Model Program." This was a tremendous accomplishment that recognizes the work done for the benefit of the students and campus of Canyon Vista.
A "RAMP" school is one that strives to support all students academically, socially, and emotionally through either classroom lessons, small group lessons, or individual counseling. School counselors also work alongside our stakeholders such as Administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and community members to ensure that our students are being supported in data-driven, effective ways.
