Copper Hills High School is situated just east of the Oquirrh Mountains in the southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley. This modern educational facility opened its doors in the fall of 1995 and currently serves over 1900 students. CHHS is proud to offer a clean, safe, and inviting educational environment focused on the continued improvement of student learning. The school’s comprehensive improvement efforts are data-driven and reflect the interests and concerns of each stakeholder group. Copper Hills features the district’s most progressive community approach to public education and has since established itself as a model-school for the study of smaller learning communities.

Dedicated teachers, counselors, and administrators at CHHS work diligently to prepare graduates with the skills necessary to communicate clearly, work collaboratively, and think critically in today’s competitive workforce.

• Copper Hills High School is pleased to serve 1,940 students representative of an ethnically diverse community. Enrollment is expected to increase over the next several years as land continues to be developed to the west.
• The school operates on a rotating A/B block schedule consisting of 84 minute class periods. This modified eight period schedule provides the opportunity for students to earn additional elective credits.
• Copper Hills is the only high school in the districtwith a late-start schedule. Students attend classes from 7:55 – 2:25 with teachers available at 7:00 to assist individual students. This modification was created after student surveys revealed that over 80% of students hold after-school jobs.
• The teacher/pupil ratio is 27.5 although actual class sizes may vary.
• CHHS serves nutritious meals for breakfast and lunch daily. Free and reduced-price lunches are also available to those who qualify.
• The special education team is committed to providing exceptional service for all students with special needs.
• Copper Hills welcomes parent volunteers and values relationships built with the local business community.
• The Jordan Applied Technology Center is just a short drive from campus and offers hands-on technical training in a variety of vocations.
• CHHS is proud to offer 36 courses where students may generate college credit through an AP Exam or Concurrent Enrollment.
• Copper Hills maintains the district’s highest AP pass ratio.
• Several CHHS students/organizations/teams have been recognized at both state and national levels.

American College Test (ACT)
The ACT includes testing in the areas of Math, Science, Reading and English. Scale scores range from 1 (low) to 36 (high) for each of the four tests and for the Composite. The Composite score is the average of the four test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Advanced Placement Test (AP)
Advanced Placement classes are college-level classes offered at the high school campus. Advanced Placement is a national program administered by the College Board. Many colleges and universities around the nation award credit based on scores from the AP Exams.

Criterion Referenced Tests (CRT)
The Core Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs) are administered at the end of each school year to help assess how well students have mastered the standards and objectives set forth in the State of Utah Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science core curricula.   Student achievement is reported as the percent of students reaching “proficient” by earning a Level 3 or Level 4 performance on the Core CRT.

Utah Basic Skills Competency Test (UBSCT)
The Utah Basic Skills Competency Test is a state-legislated high school competency test.  Students who pass the UBSCT will have a designation indicating such on their high school diploma.  The first administration of the UBSCT is February during the students’ 10th grade year.  A proficiency score of 3 or 4 is required to pass each section.  Students who did not pass all three sections  (Math, Reading, and Writing) will be provided with four additional opportunities in which to pass the three parts of the UBSCT. 

Note: the UBSCT was not administered in 2010-11 nor will it be in 2011-12.
