It has been 50 years since Canyon High School became the second high school in the William S. Hart Union High School District, and all members of the Santa Clarita community are invited to join alumni, students, staff and parents to celebrate the anniversary on September 4.

The day after Labor Day is “Back to School” night at Canyon High School, but this fall it will be so much more.

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.

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. They are graduates, teachers, administrators… anyone instrumental in the success of the school and those associated with it.

The 50 will be spread over six different categories: Education, Athletics,
Arts/Entertainment, Business, Government and Other.

You can also personally commemorate the occasion with a brick that will be permanently added to the school. Click here for details.
