Cannon School celebrated its first day of school on Thursday, Aug. 15 with a birthday party.

This is Cannon’s 50th year of educating students and it celebrated with a cake and candles, blown out by a few students who had a birthday on the first day of school.

Greetings from Cannon Magazine.

We hope you will enjoy our Summer/Fall 2019 issue that celebrates the Gossage years, introduces Head of School Christopher Jones, and features highlights of our community.

Cannon School’s middle school robotics team recently attended the Mountain State Invitational Tournament through First Lego League. First Lego League is a global robotics competition built around theme-based challenges to engage children 9-16 in research, problem-solving, coding and engineering. The tournament was hosted by Fairmont State University in West Virginia and included teams from around the world.

And out of all those teams, the Brainy Yaks received the 1st place Teamwork Award.

As the Cannon School community celebrates our 50th anniversary year in 2019-2020, we also welcome Mr. Christopher Jones as Cannon’s seventh Head of School. Christopher’s appointment was effective July 1, 2019.

Christopher, a dynamic leader who values authenticity and kindness as much as growth and innovation, previously served the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools (Lab) as the Associate Director of Schools.

Choosing a Junior Kindergarten program for your child can be challenging. You have many goals for your child and want to find a school where he or she will learn, build character, and have plenty of opportunities for creative play.

To help guide parents during their journey, Cannon has created a checklist of 13 Things to Look for in a Pre-K Program. We hope you will find it helpful!

Contact our Office of Admission for additional information, or check out our Visit Cannon webpage to schedule a campus tour.

In just two short days, our Class of 2019 will walk across the stage on Bryant Central Green, accept a diploma from Cannon School, and head out into the world.

We hope you enjoy this farewell to a class that is truly amazing and special.
