The CHS Athletic Department is happy to announce that our Unified Sports program is beginning its 2020-21 season in early April.
This year's program will be unique. It will be a blended Track and Field and Basketball program. Much of the details around how the exact schedule of events will take place will revolve around many factors, including how many student athletes register.
CHS has been at the forefront of the Unified Sports scene since we launched our Unified Track and Field program in 2016. In Massachusetts, Unified Sports were born out of a collaboration between US Special Olympics and the MIAA. Special Olympics Project Unify is an education-based project, funded by the US Dept. of Education, that uses the sports and education programs of Special Olympics to activate young people across the US. In order to promote school communities where all young people are agents of change- fostering respect, dignity and advocacy for people with disabilities. Canton High School and Special Olympics believe that through sports young people can make a difference in friendships, schools and communities.
The program is open to ALL CHS students.
There is no specific User Fee for this program. Students simply must pay the general school activity fee which allows students to participate in any activity throughout the year.
Registration for Unified Track/Basketball is now open. Parents/guardians must register their Unified student athlete by Monday, March 29th.
