I LOVED Canton High School when I went here! Too many good memories. I made quite a few friends, I had some wonderful teachers, and there are so many activities to do here. Canton High School is located in a park with two other high schools, where students can have classes in each of the three schools. Overall, I enjoyed Canton High School, as part of the Class of 2023! It has changed, but I still say, Go Chiefs!
