Clear skies ahead!
Dear Aviators,
Welcome to the 2025–26 school year—my final year as your principal and what I know will be our very best yet!
This year’s theme, Clear Skies Ahead, is similar to CAVU, an aviation term that stands for Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited—clear skies ahead. It perfectly captures where we’re headed together as a school. Just like a pilot flying in unlimited visibility, you have endless opportunities at CVHS, and we’re going to make sure you can see—and seize—every single one.
Here’s what makes this year especially exciting:
We’re launching even higher with our top-ranked aviation program, a growing drone show team, hands-on robotics, and unmatched access to college classes—more than most schools in the country.
Last year’s Class of 2025 crushed it, earning:
$13.3 million in scholarships
8,061 UVU credits (a $3.76 million savings!)
43 associate degrees and 9 general education certificates
And 3 graduates are preparing to serve our country with pride.
Our Flight Crew, teachers, coaches, and staff care deeply about your growth. Whether you're on the field, in the band room, at Jet Fuel, or soaring in a simulator—our crew is all in.
Athletics is on fire, and we’re moving into 6A with confidence, energy, and unity.
I love this crew—and that includes you. At Cedar Valley, every student is a vital member of the team. CAVU is more than a theme; it’s a mindset. It means we believe in you, your dreams, and your ability to make them real. Together, we’ll create a year filled with achievement, fun, and memories you’ll never forget.
Clear skies ahead, Aviators. Let’s fly.
With pride,
Principal Courtney Johnson
Cedar Valley High School
Back-to-School Night: August 11th 3:00-7:00
Come find your classes and meet your teachers. Teachers will have a recommended supplies list, syllabus, and disclosure documents. You can pay your fees, get your locker, set up your attendance password (if you had a password set up at Frontier or CVHS, you do not need to set up a new one), and check out your Chromebook.
School Pictures will NOT be during Back to School Night or Pre-Boarding.
First Day of School: August 13th
Boarding will begin through the main front doors at 7:15.
Bell rings at 7:45 am.
Enter through the main doors for a celebration.
Pre-Boarding Day
August 12th 8:00am to 2:00pm
What are pre-boarding days? This is your chance to come check out a Chromebook for new students, pay school fees, get your locker, and check out clubs.
What will you do?
- Chromebooks for students will be issued during this time. (See below)
- You may pay your school fees, get your parking pass, and purchase a yearbook.
- You may get your locker assignment. (See below)
- You may set up an attendance password. (If you previously set one up through Frontier or CVHS, you do not need to do this again.)
- Counselors will be available in the Commons for simple schedule changes. If you need a more private meeting, please schedule an appointment.
All of these can also be done during back-to-school night!
Pictures will not be taken during Pre-Boarding this year.
One-to-One Next Generation School
What does it mean to be a Next Generation One-to-One School? - Because technology will be a key tool for students as they create and pursue their dreams, Cedar Valley High School desires to provide this technology in an equitable and systematic manner. Research has also shown that technology can provide students with greater opportunities for meaningful engagement. This means we will be providing every student with their own Chromebook to use at home and at school. Click HERE for a district document with all the answers.
Parental Permissions - Before students can be issued or use a Chromebook, parents will need to provide permission through a Student Acceptable Use Agreement, and an Agreement For the Use of Instructional Technology Property. See this Video and this tutorial for instructions on how to provide these permissions. Please complete this before the pre-boarding day.
Insurance & Fines - Students will be responsible for any damages to the Chromebook and for any missing chargers or devices issued to them. We will have details about these fines and a very low-cost insurance option through a third party to help you avoid the possibility of fines. Insurance Flyer and Information.
