Canton Local Schools

Canton Local Schools are closed for winter break from December 22 through January 4! Wishing you a safe and joyous holiday season! Note: When school is closed, the indoor walking track is not available.

This Winter Break, we are encouraging Wildcat families, students, and staff to go phone-light or remain phone-free and focus on what really matters. Complete as many challenges as possible, snap a photo, and share your experience with karen.vrabec@cantonlocal.org for a chance to be featured on Facebook and win a prize!

We’re excited to welcome Kyle Arrowsmith as the new Head Varsity Baseball Coach at Canton South High School. Arrowsmith brings experience coaching at the varsity, junior varsity, and freshman levels, most recently serving as the varsity pitching coach at Northwest High School.

Canton Local is updating its strategic ONE Plan, and your feedback is essential in helping us strengthen opportunities for all students and families. If you fall into one of the groups below, please consider taking the survey that best reflects your connection to our district: - Recent Canton South Graduates (Classes of 2020–2024) - Current Students & Families - Community Members, Support Service Providers & Local Business Owners

Canton Local’s BRIK Initiative brings families, schools, and the community together to make a few key changes that help protect kids and build their real-world skills: Wait Until 8th – Delay giving kids smartphones until high school. 16 to Screen – No social media until age 16. Phone Down, Minds Up – Create phone-free school days. Let Me Grow – Encourage childhood independence through more unstructured play and real-life experiences.
