I work at Tuacahn because there’s no other high school in Southern Utah that lives and breathes creativity and critical thinking the way this school does. Art and academics are meant to go hand in hand, and here, they’re honored as two sides of the same coin. Both are vital. Both are essential. Both work in tandem to create a community that’s engaged, vibrant, and willing to take risks. It’s kind of like working at Hogwarts. There’s magic in the canyon and we all can feel it.
