Thank you Mike Barucci!

If you've been to a CHS sporting event over the past dozen or so years, you have probably seen Mike Barucci (our Golf coach and a key member of the CPS technology department) roaming the sidelines with his camera, capturing so many amazing Bulldog moments in time.  His sports photos have graced the pages of our blogs, Twitter accounts, webpages and the Canton Citizen.  Many of his photos hang up around the CHS Athletic hallway as well.


He has captured all of the big milestone wins and accomplishments as well as some heartbreaking moments during that long stretch of years. Win or lose, he has been there, helping to provide a visual history of CHS Athletics since the mid 2000s.


I am sad to report that he is hanging up his camera- not completely!  He will still be snapping pics around school for the annual senior slide show, but his days of roaming the sidelines for us are done.  Although he will continue being a huge Bulldog supporter, the photography at CHS sporting events was just too time consuming. Has certainly logged enough hours for all of us over the years. It's also true that when he started on the sidelines, not everyone had a camera on them at all times.  Smartphones with great cameras are making photos more and more available and the need for folks like Mike to document everything is not as strong as it once was.


If you see coach Barucci around, be sure to thank him for his years of dedication to our student athletes.  This blog entry includes some of my favorites from him over the years.

Thanks Coach!

By the way- his highly touted Golf team begins their 2019 campaign today against Milford High School at Hopedale CC. Good luck!
