Both Blue Creek and Canyon Creek invite you to attend the Joint Town Hall Meeting, Monday, March 9, 2026 at 6:30 pm held at Canyon Creek School. This is a forum to learn more about what the partnership for 7th & 8th grade may look like and the foundations behind this proactive approach. While we do not house those students in our building, it is impactful to our District as a whole. The opportunity and optimism shared by Canyon Creek, benefits students in both districts, takes a proactive approach to the future of our districts, and designs a way to hold on to the benefits of small school settings. Hope to see you there!
