First District Showcase Highlights Classes And Extracurriculars Here At The CCSD!

By Heather Heater, Director of Technology and Public Information

Canton City Schools had its first district showcase on January 21st, 2023, an event it plans to continue annually. Held at the Timken Career Campus, the well-attended event boasted many of the fantastic programs and opportunities offered to our students, families, and community. Attendees enjoyed a pancake breakfast provided and served by our food services team while watching student performances from the Arts Academy, McKinley dance and drama, the advanced guitar ensemble, and the high school’s steel drum band. Singer Tavion Walker was a featured soloist.

In addition to student performances, guests also toured our student Art Exhibit highlighting pieces from students from all grade levels. Art included works ranging from clay and pottery to student sketches and drawings. Some families took the opportunity to tour many of the robust Career Technical programs such as Broadcast Media, Engineering, Manufacturing, Welding, and Automotive.

Many young attendees enjoyed a quick manicure from our Cosmetology students! For more information on our Career Technical programs please see the center spread of this bulletin or visit our website at www.ccsdistrict.org/ careertech.

The showcase also had approximately 40 information booths which included a large array of community partners, school buildings, programming, and activities for attendees to learn about the unique and valuable opportunities we provide for students and families both in school and outside of the school day including support services, health services, learning opportunities, and e-Sports. We would like to thank all of our community members, staff, and students who participated in this event and look forward to next year.

Finally, many of our stories highlight the valuable community partnerships that complement our dedicated teaching staff and support staff in adding to the educational experiences we have to offer. Many of these partners will continue to engage our students during summer school enrichment. Please watch your ParentSquare for further information as the school year comes to a close.

Thank you to all of our Bulldog families, the community, and the CCS staff for all you do.
