Not knowing the future growth of the school, in 1999 the Iron County School District released that they were building a new Canyon View High School building just across the street from the already newly built school. In the fall of 2000, students were finally able to enter the current building of Canyon View.
Canyon View High School currently takes students from the northern half of Cedar City, Enoch, Pinto, Newcastle, and Beryl. While students may or may not be in these boundaries students may still go to Canyon View Instead of Cedar High if one puts in an application to the Iron County School District for a transfer to the other school.
