The Debate Team at Corner Canyon High School is a group of individuals who do lots of writing, arguing, making cases, and more. They’ve won lots of awards and work really hard to do so. Recently they’ve had a tournament titled Beehive Bonanza, this is the first tournament for the season for these debaters and it's a huge deal. It is hosted at the University of Utah. The campus was very beautiful according to the ones who attended and most state that it was very well run. 

Since this was the first tournament of the year, a lot of debaters are rusty, and need to get back into it, but the team at Corner Canyon started off the debate season with a bang. They won first place sweepstakes at this tournament. The team had lots of first place awards continuously. 

The next tournament coming up is titled, Hunter Haunting, this is a favorite, it is at Hunter High School, and it is incredibly competitive, as is every tournament. So wish them luck on the 29th of October!

Now our team has lots of spirit and there's so many unique and exciting events you can join, but there's a clear boundary between two specific events which is speech and debate. Now although sometimes those things can be meshed together they in fact are very different. Debate isn’t exactly talking about personal experiences, meanwhile speech will discuss things like personal experiences and it isn’t an argument like debate would be. 

Speech events would be oratory, extemporaneous, informative, interpretation, impromptu. Debate events would consist of policy debate, public forum, Lincoln Douglas, and congress.

 If you ever consider signing up for the team, not only does it look incredible on college applications and could boost your chances for scholarships, it’s a wonderful opportunity to learn more and be a part of an incredible team with amazing captains and coaches. The coach for the debate team, Jonathan Spencer is such an amazing influence and inspiration for the whole team and keeps everyone in a good mood and he inspires all of the team to stay positive and continue working hard. As a quote from the team captain, Henry Atkin, “GO CHARGERS!”

Quotes from CCHS Drama department:

Shakespeare quotes about…

• Youth: “Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; Youth is wild, and age is tame.”

• Humanity: “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.“
• Mind: “Ideas are the very coinage of your brain.”
• Destiny:“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”

How to get involved:

Most advice received by faculty for students that aren't enjoying high school is to get involved. Yet how do you get involved? I believe that it's easier said than done. Yet with club rush coming up there are plenty of opportunities to be able to see where you can get involved.  No matter what things you have or haven’t done there is always something new to try. Just as Mrs. Kohler said “try new things.” There is always a chance for new experiences and new skills you can discover. Join a club! You’ll meet new people and get to experience new things. It does seem scary and nerve wracking to go and try new things. Yet it's better to try than not to try new things. You never know what will happen unless you try. ​

Drama department the shakespeare showcase
​By:Lily hersch
published:09/28/23

“To be, or not to be: that is the question.” This quote is arguably one of the most renowned and recognized lines of English literature, said by genius playwright William Shakespeare. Though several hundred years gone, his legacy lives on within the Corner Canyon Drama Department: the Shakespeare Showcase.
The Shakespeare Showcase is one of CCHS’ most grandiose productions, with the Theatre team competing with other teams throughout the state for the best Shakespearean performance at the Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Utah from October 5th-7th. The play features monologues, 2-3 person scenes, Draper Park 8th graders performing sonnets, and the ensemble scene of Titus Andronicus. This year’s high school performance will be October 4th at 6 pm in the CCHS auditorium for free admission, and includes the Choir and Dance team as well as Theatre.
“My favorite part about Shakespeare Showcase is how it brings so many different people together-middle school theater, high school theater, and anyone that wants to watch!” comments Kaiya Sharp, a CCHS junior and theater actress since 6th grade.
This Showcase isn’t just any high school performance; Corner Canyon Theatre has been rehearsing since July to perfect their craft and make the home of the Chargers proud. The team has won several accolades over the years for their enchanting performances, such as in 2021 achieving 1st place sweepstakes, 2nd place ensemble scenes, 1st place minstrel, and in 2022 placing 2nd place sweepstakes, 2nd place ensemble scenes, and several more. 
“I think we have some really unique pieces, and we’re bringing stuff to the competition that people haven’t seen done before. It’s going to be really fun.” says senior Chloe Scott, who will be in this year’s competition for the second time, as well as being a CCHS theater member since freshman year. 
Given Corner Canyon Theater Department’s prestige, this year’s performance will undoubtedly be one to remember. With enthralling scenes, incredible voices, dazzling backdrops, new show additions, and more, you don’t want to miss it.

OUR ThEme and

"We are one!"  published:September, 9th, 2023.
WRITTEN By: Ella Shearer 

Here at Corner Canyon High School we have 10 SBO’s and 19 class officers who dedicate countless hours to make our school the best it can be. During a three day summer summit that all the members of student government attend, they prepare for the school year and come up with a school wide theme for the year. The theme that was chosen this year is “We are one”.
​     After talking with Senior class president JJ Pratt, to him, “We are one” means, “Everyone can be included as part of our school culture whether it’s at football games, dances, or clubs.”
“We are one” means a group of people coming together to accomplish a common goal, overcome obstacles, and working together to create something successful together. In the context of high school, working together to be successful is what “we are one” means. This meaning can come into play in an educational setting, a sports setting, or anything else where a group of people will work together to strengthen one another. Many will say that “We are one” is similar to unity. In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of unity is “the quality or state of not being multiple: oneness”. Another definition given is “the quality or state of being made one: unification”. In the context of Corner Canyon High School, the goal that all of student government has for our school this year is to become unified as a school, and work together to accomplish all that we want, and can accomplish.
After a heartbreaking loss of a Corner Canyon student, the theme became very evident in the school’s student body, and showed that we are in fact one. Student government wanted to come up with a way to honor this student’s life and landed on all students wearing his favorite color green to school. Not only did our school become one, but other schools became one with our school by wearing green to school and football games that day. Tyler Balls, 2023-2024 activities SBO says, “We stand together even through tough times.” This principle of standing together through tough times quickly became evident at the start of the school year as the student body came together as one to show their support.
