College Readiness The most operative word in CVPA is preparatory. It is our job to prepare our students for college regardless of what they believe the future holds in store for them. Many of our students who believed that college was not for them later changed their minds, and thankfully they were ready and able to apply for college. The Canyon View English Department is committed to the belief that our graduates should have as many options open to them as possible. For this reason we demand that by graduation our students are writing and analyzing literature on a college level.
