Cyprus High belongs to the Granite School District.
Cyprus High School dates back to April 1918. The auditorium was added in 1973 and the science building in 1978. Due to the age of the main building, it was completely rebuilt in 1983.
A new Cyprus High School campus is currently being constructed on an empty lot located at 8575 W Cordero Dr in Magna, Utah, United States. The new campus will replace the old campus by the fall of 2025.
Enrollment
editCyprus High School serves approximately 2,600 students[3] in grades, 9–12. The building of Cyprus isn't big enough to hold 4 grades, so as part of it, Brockbank Jr. High became a part of Cyprus. 7th and 8th graders that would've gone to Brockbank now go to Matheson Junior High School.
As of the 2020-2021 school year, 49.2% of the student body are White, 41.8% are Hispanic, 2.2% are African American, 3.0% are Pacific Islander, 1.7% are Asian, and 1.3% are Native American.
