THIS WEEK AT CHS (Sept. 8-12)


We are pleased once again to offer a terrific breakfast to our students for only $1.50. A good breakfast is a great way to start the day. Give it a try...The options are outstanding! Available in the cafeteria from 6:45-7:10 a.m. Click on the link above to access the menu.



Student Athlete/Parent Presentation- September 11 at 6:30 p.m.
From the CHS Athletics blog
The CHS Athletic Department is excited to announce formally, an important presentation taking place on Thursday, September 11th at 6:30pm in the CHS Auditorium. Attendance at this presentation is mandatory for any CHS student who is interested in participating in a sport at CHS this school year. It is requested that at least one parent attend as well.

This year's presentation will be highlighted by a visit by Kathi and Chris Sullivan. The Sullivans have both suffered tragedy and loss associated with substance abuse. Kathi lost her 17 year old daughter Taylor in a tragic drinking incident during her senior year at King Phillip Regional High School. Chris's NFL career came to an end as a result of substance abuse. Their combined message is incredibly powerful. We think it is important for both our student athletes and their parents to hear. (see link below)

We will also briefly review some new initiatives and new policies which impact student athletes at CHS this school year.

Please arrive early to be sure that we can get everyone checked in and seated so we can get our program started on time.

Any student athlete who is unable to attend, must notify the athletic office prior to the 11th.

A special thanks goes out to the CHS Athletic Booster Club and to the Canton Cooperative Bank for sponsoring our speakers that night. Without their work and generosity, programs like this would not be possible.

We are very excited to share this program with the Bulldog Community. See you on Thursday!

THIS WEEK AT CHS (June 2-6)


Grade 9 MCAS Biology Exams -- June 2 and 3

Friday, May 30                 MCAS assembly
Monday, June 2                MCAS Biology Exam, Session 1
Tuesday, June 3                MCAS Biology Exam, Session 2



 Canton High School freshmen are ready to excel on this year's MCAS Biology exam this week. Building on a terrific foundation from the past and rigorous preparation this year, our Grade 9 students are prepared to demonstrate their knowledge at a high level. CHS annually performs well on the MCAS Biology exam and I'm expecting even better results this year.


Knowing that our freshman need rest and time to focus on the MCAS exams, sophomores will have no tests or homework during the MCAS exam period. An important note: Once the students start the exam, Grade 9 dismissals are not allowed. Students must work on the exam continuously and complete the exam on the day it was started.

Attendance each day is very important.

As always, the Canton High School staff and administration offer these reminders for success: 
  • Work hard and do the best you can on the exam
  • Enter the exam rested and knowing that you are prepared
  • Eat a good breakfast on the day of the exams 
  • Remember that CHS serves breakfast for $1.50
  • Work diligently and at a pace that works for you. 
  • You have unlimited time until the end school day. No need to rush.
  • Strive to achieve advanced or proficient on the exam.                                                                                                  Push yourself to exceed expectations.
  • Demonstrate strong writing on every open response. The writing can                                                                       make the difference.
  • Read actively and use good strategies to determine the answer.
  • Know that you have the support of the entire Canton School Community.
  • Embrace the opportunity to be great.
