Ben Hassell and Casey Land took home the crowning titles of “Mr. and Miss CHS.” Land said she knew that the title “Miss CHS” meant being a representation of what Canyon High School is all about.
“I was not expecting this at all,” Land said. “It’s a huge honor. I’m very undeserving.”
Hassell said he was pleasantly surprised at how many people voted for him.
“Being ‘Mr. CHS’ means that I’m the best at everything … just kidding,” Hassel said. “I feel pretty humble to know that I have that many friends and the respect of so many of my peers. I guess I owe my thanks to them.”
After the ceremony was over, a number of the audience stayed for the western-style dance. It was four hours of Swing, Shuffle and a little Pop Locking.
