Share a Special Memory
Reaching 50 years is really about you—our students, parents, alumni, teachers, coaches, families, and friends who have boldly learned, laughed, and looked forward together.

Looking Back
Cannon School, established in 1969 as Cabarrus Academy and renamed in 1998, originally occupied the historic Concord residence of textile entrepreneur J.W. Cannon. In the nearly-five decades since, Cannon School has transformed itself from a small school in downtown Concord to one of the Charlotte region's top independent college-preparatory schools.
