I have loved being at Snow Canyon High School. The environment is amazing and there are so many fabulous people. I have loved being a part of the Varsity tennis team where I have met my best friends while doing something I love. Student Council has been enjoyable and I love being a leader and serving others. NHS is also super fun and you get to help people around you and better yourself. I think that there should be more ways to get involved because not everyone has the same hobbies and so they don't surround themselves with people. We have a lot of diversity and cultures here and in order to have more unity we need to find something that will bring us all together. People need to get involved to have a better high school experience at Snow Canyon High.

Snow canyon high has been one of the best schools I've been enrolled in. It's where I reconnected with my childhood best friend, met more friends and have had the chance to take classes I never thought I would enjoy. Some of the classes we have are ASL, medical anatomy, sports medicine, ext. You have the possibility to find what you love and do what you want to do. Snow canyon was voted the school with the best school spirit. The games are insane with the support the kids give each other. I'm so glad I chose to come to snow canyon, I would never chose to go anywhere else.

I had a great experience at SCHS! All of the students were friendly and the staff was all around helpful and knowledgable. I would have to say that the worst part was the traffic when trying to leave the general parking lot.
