Notice to Bulldog Spring Sports Families

With the spring weather returning, it brings flowers, birds AND young drivers driving more recklessly than they typically do. 

We need to tackle this as a school community. 

Please help us reinforce these expectations with our CHS student athlete drivers as the season gets underway-

1. DRIVE SLOWLY on campus, Reynolds St., Vaugh St. and Cotter St.- We cannot emphasize enough that we must drive slowly in these areas.  Even when we think we are driving slow enough in these areas, we really are not. The gas pedal should hardly be used in these areas. Driving faster than 15-20 mph is too fast.  I drive in these areas all the time and have seen many close calls between cars and pedestrians....often small children. We need to do better. We need to be good neighbors. 

2. Park in marked spots. Our campus is not that big.  Parking on upper campus and walking to lower campus is EASY and takes a couple of minutes. Do that rather than making up your own spot. 

3. Under no circumstance should you park on the "road" from upper campus to lower or between lower lot and the turf lot. Once you park there, it prevents two-way traffic. 

4. Student athletes may not park in the 12 spots in the turf lot. Those are for coaches and spectators. 

5. Spectators, please do not park in the "middle area" of the turf lot (near the fire lane). Once one person does, it starts a flurry of parking there....which always creates an unsafe situation in that lot. 

Thank you Bulldogs! Let's keep our campus and neighbors safe!

Join our Unified Track Team!

Attention CHS Students!

Over the past ten years, Canton High School has proudly fielded a Unified Track and Field team each spring. This team, which is a result of a partnership between the MIAA and the Special Olympics of America, brings together CHS students from all backgrounds and abilities, in what always leads to a magical experience for all involved. 

This spring season will begin the first week of April.  We have a practice or two each week immediately after school, which typically lasts less than one hour. We currently have 4 meets scheduled against Hockomock League schools. The season runs through mid-May. 

Coaches Maureen Campbell and Djelany DeBrito are excited to welcome new team members!

Looking for an amazing experience that you will carry with you through your entire life? Register for Unified Track today!

Cheer team heading to States

The CHS Winter Cheer team performed amazingly well at the Regional Competition this past weekend, earning a qualifying score high enough to propel them to the States this upcoming Sunday!

The MSAA State Cheer Competition is a cheerleading competition where the best teams in the state are brought together to compete. The Bulldogs team is ranked 5th across the state in our division! We scored the highest at regionals that we have ever scored.

First year head coach Jenny O'Neill had this to say about the accomplishment-

"The immense pride I feel as a coach watching this team continuously improve and reach their goals is overwhelming. We have worked so hard to get where we are and continue to bring 100% effort to the mat- so well deserved.  Hard work pays off and we can't wait to represent CHS to the best teams in the state."

The team is expected to hit the mat at Worcester State University around noon on Sunday, March 9th.
