UHSAA are adding a competitive factor to the realignment process.

📊 UHSAA REALIGNMENT UPDATE: Understanding the CRI

As we continue the 2027–29 realignment process, we’re sharing the Composite Realignment Index (CRI) used as part of the process to classify UHSAA member schools.

The CRI brings together three factors:

🏫 School Enrollment
📊 Socio-Economic Status (SES)
🏆 Competitive Performance

The goal is to provide a more complete picture of each school by considering more than enrollment alone.

Today, we’re sharing the CRI information so our member schools and communities can better understand the data being used throughout the realignment process.

Realignment is a process, and there are still several steps ahead before classifications and regions are finalized for the 2027–29 cycle.

🔗 Learn more about realignment, including the approved formats, procedures and timeline at UHSAA.org.

Congratulations to the accomplished Class of 2026 from Brighton High School! 🧡💙🎓 This is one of the best parts of my job! I love celebrating the achievements of students and seeing the excitement and pure happiness in their faces when I hand them their diplomas. Go Bengals!! 💙🧡🎓

More than 550 Brighton High students crossed the commencement stage Wednesday morning, ready to take on the world, and challenged to consider not simply what they will do next, but what they will leave behind. And by the time the final tassel was turned, it was clear the Class of 2026 has already begun shaping a legacy that will endure. The list of accolades Principal Marielle Rawle noted as “reflecting the excellence of the senior class” was impressive: Among the graduating class, 46 percent received college scholarship offers, totaling more than $15 million. As many maintained a 3.5 GPA or higher, and 70 students earned 30 or higher on the ACT college entrance exam. Two students earned National Merit Scholar status, and one was named a state Sterling Scholar.

If school quality is measured by where families choose to enroll, Canyons District’s high schools are thriving. Even as school choice expands, 83 percent of local high school students choose Canyons schools, with another 770 students enrolling from outside District boundaries. That demand is backed by independent rankings. All five of CSD’s comprehensive schools placed among Salt Lake’s top 20 in the 2026 U.S News & World Report rankings, with four schools ranking among the top 30 statewide.
