Parent Committees
Although parents are not required to volunteer at Canyon Heights, service to the school community is a key element in forming our community and building our school. Canyon Heights' excellence and success is due in no small measure to the great generosity of our parents. The unique spirit and sense of community that pervades Canyon Heights comes from the willingness of our parents to give of themselves in service to our children and to each other. Over 75% of our parents serve on at least one of the following committees.
