On a warm evening in May, a senior will step on the graduation stage, pause for a split second, and scan the crowd. Somewhere in those stands will be a kindergarten teacher who taught the student his first sight words. A middle school coach who pushed him through early doubts. A parent who never doubted. A high school counselor who helped map out what comes next.

Graduation isn’t just the end of senior year — it’s the culmination of 13,000 days of growth inside Canyons classrooms. It’s the moment when an entire community sees the return on 12 years of investment, from first backpacks to final tassels.

This spring, Canyons District’s five comprehensive high schools will celebrate the Class of 2026 with commencement ceremonies on Wednesday, May 27. Diamond Ridge High has scheduled its graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 28 and Entrada High on Wednesday, June 10.

CSD’s specialty schools will host completion ceremonies. Jordan Valley’s is scheduled for Friday, May 22 and Life Skills Academy’s will be on Thursday, May 28.

The full schedule of events is detailed below. Be sure to mark your calendars.

These events will be livestreamed to allow grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends from afar to mark this milestone — the pinnacle of education for thousands of students and those who have supported them.
