Welcome to Mint Canyon, home of the Roadrunners. At Mint Canyon Community School, we pride ourselves in establishing a family feel, where we support all of our students to reach their greatest potential. We provide a rigorous curriculum in a supportive learning environment that encourages all students to make both academic and social emotional strides. It is our goal to help every student feel connected to others and the adults at school. In order to support this goal, we focus on social emotional learning through the Capturing Kids' Hearts program. We begin each day with a positive greeting, encourage student connectedness through sharing "good things", and review our social contracts - an agreement of behavior. Students work together in order to establish a learning environment where everyone's voice is heard and everyone's growth is encouraged. Students and staff focus on providing affirmations to help encourage each other to do their very best. 

Academically, we provide students with challenging curriculum that provides challenges and encourages creativity. We focus on the California State Standards in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics as a priority. These academic areas are also intertwined through the teaching of the Next Generation Science Standards and through the instruction of social studies, fine arts, physical education, and technology so that each student can be provided with the opportunity to develop skills in their area of interest. Mint Canyon Roadrunners strive for success in everything we do to focus on Growing Greatness. 

Greetings to all our Roadrunner Families! I am the proud Principal of Mint Canyon Community School. Together our dedicated staff strives for the success of our students. Mint Canyon is a school with a rich history in the city of Santa Clarita - truly the heart of the Canyon Country community. We celebrated 59 years as a school in 2023 and are still going strong. As you walk our beautiful campus it is obvious that Mint Canyon has a family feel. We treat all students as our own. We believe that each child can meet or exceed their academic goals in order to be prepared for a successful and productive future. 

Mrs. Paulette Volmer - Principal
