Commencement Parking Procedures

Parking: Please be courteous to our fellow Grizzlies as you park at Maverik Center. We have another graduation before ours that should be cleared out by 12:30pm. In case there is an issue, Maverik Center has suggested we use their overflow parking to the northeast (kitty corner) from Maverik Center. For families needing handicap accessible parking, it’s better to park in Maverik Center parking. Both lots are best accessed from 3100 S, on the north side of their property. You can access 3100 S directly from Bangerter Highway, or Redwood Rd, but not from I215. DO NOT PARK IN the SPS lot across the street from Maverik. They will tow your vehicle, and they have security diligently checking their lot.

 

We look forward to sharing this celebration with you and your graduate! Thank you for being familiar with this information and working with us on creating a positive and memorable experience for all involved.

Dear Parents and Students,

It is with great pleasure we announce the Valedictorian Application to our graduating seniors. The Valedictorian will be awarded to one senior, and that senior will be chosen on a rubric consisting of GPA, ACT score, Honors, Concurrent Enrollment, and AP classes. The Salutatorian will be awarded to the senior with the next highest score. Both the Valedictorian and the Salutatorian will be invited to speak at graduation, but this will not be a requirement.

Seniors wishing to be considered for this honor will need to complete an application. The application must be completed online by Thursday, April 28, 2022, midnight, in order to have them processed in time for graduation. Students MUST APPLY to be considered for Valedictorian/Salutatorian.

Applications are available online through our website - Graduation-CopperHillsHigh.org. Seniors can also find the application on their Homeroom CANVAS. To have the most accurate information on the application, students must request the transcript on or after April 12th. Please allow 2 days for the registrar to process your request.

Because both GPA and difficulty of classes will be considered, it is possible for a student to be the Valedictorian when they do not have a 4.0 GPA, but have taken very difficult classes (e.g. Honors, AP, Concurrent). However, a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.85 will be required to submit an application.

We look forward to presenting this honor this year.

Recap for Application:

  1. Order your transcript on or after April 12th -Go to Graduation-CopperHillsHigh.org, Click “Order Transcript Here”
  2. Using your transcript, complete the Valedictorian Worksheet
  3. Enter the information from the Valedictorian Worksheet into the online Valedictorian Application Form by midnight, April 28th. The online application can be found at Graduation-CopperHillsHigh.org
  4. Valedictorian/Salutatorian will be notified on or before May 6th.

Students who do not apply for Valedictorian/Salutatorian WILL NOT be considered

 

Thank You,

Copper Hills High Administration
