Cannon School unveiled a chapter of school history with the opening of a time capsule that students and faculty had placed behind a cornerstone in 1994 — the year the school moved from 65 Union St. to the present campus on Poplar Tent Road.

At that time, the school was still Cabarrus Academy.

The time capsule contained an array of historical artifacts, including a letter from Headmaster Richard Snyder, a newspaper article about the campus groundbreaking, a copy of Cabarrus Academy Cougar News, a copy of the 1994 Flashback yearbook, a student-parent handbook, an annual report, and the thumbprints of every Cabarrus Academy student at the time.

Open to all prospective rising JrK – grade 12 students and parents, our Saturday Open Houses are designed to give families a comprehensive view into the benefits of a Cannon education.

Join us for an information session beginning promptly at 1:00 p.m. followed by a campus tour, and the opportunity to engage with students and faculty.

Saturday, January 11, 2020
1:00 - 3:00 p.m.

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!

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 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.

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.
