2026-27 school year Athletic Fees update

 As we all plan for the 2026-27 school year, the Canton Public Schools has announced the fee structure for athletics for next school year. Due to continued rising cost and in conjunction with a system-wide look at our fee structure, the following adjustments have been made for next school year:

Athletic User Fee- $255/student athlete/sport (increased from $245 this year)

Athletic User Fee Family Cap- Four fees for the school year- $1,020

Facility Fee- These fees are designed to off-set roughly 50% of the cost of the facility rental for each program listed below. This fee is above and beyond the Athletic User Fee, which is also due for these sports. This fee is also not eliminated or reduced as a result of a family cap. 

Ice Hockey- $500 (increased from $350 this year)

Gymnastics- $200 (increased from $150 this year)

Swimming- $150 (increased from $100 this year)

Senyonjo steps down- Greenaway named new Bulldog Girls Varsity Soccer Coach

Coach Idris Senyonjo
stepping down at 
Bulldog Varsity Coach

It is bittersweet as the CHS Athletic Department says goodbye to Coach Idris Senyonjo and welcomes Coach Tom Greenaway as our next Girls Varsity Soccer Coach.

Senyonjo has served as the Bulldog Girls Varsity Soccer Coach since the 2020 season, leading the Bulldogs to much success over that time period including a Hockomock Davenport Championship and several deep MIAA tournament runs.  According to CHS Athletic Director Danny Erickson, "Idris brought a professionalism, soccer IQ, and caring heart to the program. He will be missed. We thank him for his time, care and energy."

Taking over the program is Coach Tom Greenaway.  Greenaway is new to high school soccer, but has been a mainstay in the local club scene for more than a decade. Many CHS soccer student athletes have participated in programs through Canton Youth Soccer and local clubs that Greenaway has led.

Newly appointed Coach 
Tom Greenaway

Greenaway has held numerous soccer coaching and leadership positions with FCUSA, Steel Sports and Seacoast United where he currently coaches and manages tournaments and events for the club. He has been a part of many summer soccer camps that scores of CHS student athletes have participated in in recent years. 

Coach Greenaway had this to say upon his appointment as Head Bulldog Coach- 

"I’m excited to join Canton High School as the new varsity girls head coach. This program holds a strong personal connection for me having coached within the youth soccer organization and worked with many of the HS players over the last 15 years. I’m also looking forward and being part of a great athletic community and developing a talented group of young female players."

CHS Athletic Director had this to say upon Greenaway's appointment- 

"I have known Tom for more than ten years. I've seen him work with youth players of all levels.  His soccer knowledge, organizational skills, and most importantly- his ability to build strong relationships- has been evident throughout. I'm very excited to see his coaching journey continue and grow here at CHS."

Piazza and Ramanathan honored by The Hock

Bharat Ramanathan and Alexi Piazza-
CHS's Hockomock Scholar Athletes- 2026

Thursday night saw the Hockomock League hold one of its most cherished, special events of the year when it hosted the Hockomock League Scholar Athlete banquet. 

Each year for more than 30 years, the Hockomock comes together in May to honor two student athletes from each of the 12 Hock schools.  Two graduating student athletes from each school are selected for excelling in both the classroom and on the playing field. It is really the award that best exemplifies and honors those who embrace the mission of educational athletics. 

It is extremely difficult to select recipients given that so many Bulldogs prioritize the "student" part of being a student athlete.  Canton's two award winners this year were Bharat Ramanathan and Alexi Piazza  Both Ramanathan and Piazza have earned amazingly high GPA's during their four years at CHS, while also contributing greatly to the many teams they have been a part of.  

Bharat Ramanathan has been a force on the CHS Boys Tennis team since he walked onto the Bulldog court 4 years ago. Following in his older brother Suraj's footsteps, Bharat made a major impact right away on the tennis team. He has been a Hockomock All-Star and a strong league 1st singles player. He has also contributed greatly to the Boys Cross Country team's continued growth. All of this while earning phenomenal grades in every one of his classes. 

Alexi Piazza has played a major role in the resurgence of both the Girls Cross Country team and the Girls Track and Field teams. Piazza is a major point-getter for the Girls Track team that has clinched at least a share of the Hockomock Davenport title this year. She is also a top runner on the championship Girls Cross Country team. She, like Ramanathan, has done all of this while performing like an MVP in the classroom as well. 

The CHS Athletic Department proudly wishes both of these soon-to-be graduates, the best of luck in the next chapters of their lives.
