Canton South High School is seeking a Head Varsity Football Coach to lead our Wildcat program with integrity, passion and a student-centered approach. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by mentoring young people, shaping a program and proudly representing Wildcat Nation.

Canton Local Schools are closed for winter break from December 22 through January 4! Wishing you a safe and joyous holiday season! Note: When school is closed, the indoor walking track is not available.

This Winter Break, we are encouraging Wildcat families, students, and staff to go phone-light or remain phone-free and focus on what really matters. Complete as many challenges as possible, snap a photo, and share your experience with karen.vrabec@cantonlocal.org for a chance to be featured on Facebook and win a prize!
