OAK CANYON JUNIOR HIGH HAS A EXCELLENT ACADEMICS SYSTEM AND THEIR ORCHESTRA CLASSES ARE SUPERIOR. THEY HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED P.U.S.H AND IT IS VERY AMAZING. GOOGLE OAK CANYON P.U.S.H TEAM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS. ALSO, THEIR TRACK TEAM GOES TO ALPINE DAYS EVERY YEAR AND ALMOST ALWAYS GETS IN THE TOP FOUR. IN 2011, CARLY JACOBSON SET THE MVHS STADIUM RECORD F0R THE 100 OR 200, AND BEAT THE ONE THAT HAD BEEN HELD BY THEIR RIVAL; LAKERIDGE FOR SIXTEEN YEARS. OVERALL, THIS SCHOOL IS AMAZING. I DEFINATLY RECOMMEND IT
