CISD Competitive Edge Week

Competitive Edge Week – February 18th–21st, 2025

Competitive Edge Week is an exciting time for Canyon ISD as students across the district participate in activities focused on preparing them for lifelong success. From February 18th–21st, every grade level will take part in opportunities designed to build the essential skills needed for their future.

This initiative focuses on five key skills:

  • Communication

  • Teamwork

  • Adaptability

  • Problem-Solving

  • Conflict Resolution

Here’s how students at every level are involved:

Elementary, Intermediate & Junior High Schools: Starting Strong

Students at the elementary, intermediate, and junior high levels will participate in activities designed to build these skills in age-appropriate ways. Younger learners will enjoy events like “Career Day,” where they dress as their future selves, and morning meetings to practice handshakes, eye contact, and speaking with confidence. Intermediate and junior high students will explore teamwork and adaptability through hands-on projects and role-playing exercises that encourage collaboration and critical thinking.

High Schools: Ready for the Real World

For high school students, Competitive Edge Week is about putting their skills into action. They’ll participate in resume workshops, professional etiquette training, and mock interviews.

A highlight of the week are Senior Interviews, where seniors at Canyon, Randall, and West Plains High Schools will take part in 20-minute mock interviews with local business leaders and community members. These interviews provide invaluable practice and feedback to help students prepare for future opportunities.
