Cannon School, a private JrK-12 college prep school school in Concord, NC

Front Entrances, First Impressions, and Final Walks

Please enjoy this beautifully written issue of Matt's Memo, a monthly letter from our Head of School Matt Gossage.

"If the temperature is above 40° F with no rain on Thursday and Friday mornings, I have committed to walking the perimeter of our campus.

I head out the Andrews Strength and Conditioning Center and walk to the construction site for The Grimmett Multipurpose Athletic Center. I shine the flashlight from my phone to assess progress, move into the bus circle, and greet the drivers who are beginning their morning routes. I proceed along side the Mill and reflect on the example of transformation represented there. Benefitting from the light from classrooms in the Middle School Addition (Yes, certain teachers are already on campus preparing), I slow down behind this building to study the outdoor basketball courts to see if there is a stray ball for one jump shot.
