Midvale Schools

Midvale City takes great pride in its affiliation with the prestigious Canyons School District, recognized as the foremost educational institution in Utah. Established in 2009, this district has consistently demonstrated a steadfast commitment to innovation, exceptional customer service, active community engagement, and prudent fiscal stewardship. With a rich history of academic, artistic, and athletic achievements, the Canyons District embodies a tradition of excellence.

Over the years, since its inception in 2009, the Canyons District has embarked on an extensive journey to either rebuild or revamp virtually all of its public schools. Midvale City's young learners are fortunate to attend four exceptional elementary schools (Copperview Elementary, East Midvale Elementary, Midvale Elementary, and Midvalley Elementary), complemented by two outstanding middle schools (Midvale Middle and Union Middle), and a top-tier high school (Hillcrest High).
