Please join us for our First Annual STEAM (Science – Technology – Engineering – Art – Math) EXPO on Monday, May 20th open from 4:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the Canton High School. This event is free to all Canton District families. There will be exhibits and “hands on” activities for all age levels. Don’t miss the opportunity to see how sneakers come to be, build a zip line design, meet out Robotics team and work with robots, determine to what degree our sun can be used to power cars, lights and more! How about catapulting a marshmallow to guard your castle, designing an alarm for your lunchbox or sailing a boat in a gutter? You’ll be able to investigate what STEAM careers might be in your future by meeting employees from Accurounds, Organogenesis, and Casesight Inc. Open the attached brochure to find a description of more than 30 exhibits. 

Please note that Ed McDonough, TV/Broadcast Faculty, and his students, will be producing a LIVE TV Show at 7:00 p.m. A panel will be discussing the power of social media and technology.

CHS Math Team heads to Penn State

The legacy lives on with phenomenal performances 

The Canton High School Math Team has been a force for decades and this year's group has only added to the legacy of excellence. In the winter, the Bulldogs competed in several meets in the Massachusetts Mathematics League and placed third overall with 868 points. (Lexington and Acton-Boxborough finished first and second, respectively).

Just recently, the CHS Math Team won the state title for the middle division and then scored a second place finish at the New England Regionals, held at Canton High School.

Now, under the tutelage of advisor and long-time CHS Math teacher Marty Badoian, Canton students (11 total) will join 39 other students to form the Eastern Massachusetts team and compete at the American Regions Mathematics League, a national competition held at Penn State on May 31 and June 1.

The Canton High School Community commends the tremendous accomplishments of this talented and hardworking team. Kudos to advisors Marty Badoian, Jessica Duggan, Paul Dybdahl and Math Department Coordiantor Mike Curry.

Well done! We wish you the best!

An Amazing Trip to Ireland, Wales and England
