Cannon School News

National Teacher Appreciation Week is a chance to pause and recognize the work teachers do every day, often quietly and without much fanfare. This year at Cannon, it also comes with a special milestone: Upper School social studies teacher Sarah Miller has published her first book, The Teacher’s Year: A Weekly Guide to the Heart of the Craft, with Routledge, a leading international academic publisher, as part of its Eye on Education series.

The book follows the arc of a school year, offering a mix of practical ideas and honest reflections drawn from life in the classroom. It’s organized month by month, capturing both the familiar highlights, like exam season and school traditions, and the less obvious shifts in energy that teachers experience along the way. For example, while January often feels like a fresh start in the wider world, Miller points out that for educators, the “new year” really begins in August. In her book, January becomes more of a checkpoint, a time to step back, ask questions, and adjust.

Throughout, Miller writes with a tone that’s approachable and grounded. Alongside weekly essays, readers will find reflection questions, classroom strategies, and small but useful resources, from email templates to ideas for those moments when inspiration runs low. The result feels less like a manual and more like an ongoing conversation.

That sense of connection is at the heart of what she hopes readers take away. “My sincere hope is that teachers get a new perspective, come away with a few concrete ideas, but above all that they feel encouraged and seen,” she says. More than anything, the book is meant to offer support and a reminder that teaching is a shared experience.

That idea fits naturally with Teacher Appreciation Week. While celebrations often focus on big gestures, Miller keeps coming back to something simpler: “The simplest way to show teachers appreciation throughout the year is just to say, ‘Thank you.’” It’s a small act, but one that carries real meaning.  “I think we sometimes struggle to express our gratitude because the words ‘thank you’ don’t feel like enough,” she notes. “But our words don’t have to be weighty enough to capture the fullness of our feelings or the depths of our gratitude. It’s enough for us to just remember to say it.”

For the Cannon community, The Teacher’s Year is also a chance to see the profession from the inside to better understand the pace, the challenges, and the moments of joy that shape a school year. The book will be available for pre-order starting May 15.

It’s an exciting accomplishment for Miller, and a fitting moment to reflect on the work she and her colleagues do every day.

Cannon’s Upper School held its Underclass Awards ceremony on April 30 to recognize students for achievements across academics, arts, service, and core values.  Congratulations to all the students earning honors and accolades for their hard work, dedication, and character.

Cannon’s robotics team, the Brainy Yaks, recently returned from the FIRST LEGO League Championship in Houston, where they represented North Carolina and the United States among top teams from more than 40 countries.

Competing against an international field of more than 32,000 teams worldwide, the Brainy Yaks delivered another strong performance, finishing in the top 100 for robot performance. The team also ranked among the top competitors in innovation project, robot design, and core values, marking their second consecutive year achieving results at this level.

“I could not be prouder of what these kids have accomplished,” said Leigh Northrup, team coach and Director of Technology and Innovation. “Not only are they an amazing team, but the way they support each other, and other teams, shows how fully they embrace Cannon School’s core values in everything they do.”

The championship highlights student achievement in robotics, programming, and problem-solving, while emphasizing collaboration, teamwork, and innovation. Throughout the event, teams engaged not only in competition but also in shared learning experiences with peers from around the world.

The Brainy Yaks’ continued success reflects both their technical skill and their commitment to the core values of the program. Their performance reinforces Cannon School’s position among leading middle school robotics programs nationally.

Northrup expressed gratitude for the Cannon community members who helped support the team at the competition. “A huge thanks to faculty members Aidan Smith and Mush Hughes for providing amazing support to this team and also to parents Karin Cain and Amy Gilligan who joined us on the trip and were a huge help supporting the herd on their adventures,” he shared.

The team will begin preparations for the next season following a brief break, continuing to build on this year’s accomplishments.

Cannon School’s A Flourishing Future campaign is nearing completion, thanks to the generosity and shared vision of our community, and we’re excited to share the latest update.

During the month of May, we expect the completion of sidewalks and landscaping by the Upper School expansion, as well as interior and exterior doors, paving adjacent to the building, and furniture to be installed. Later this month, Upper School renovations will begin and continue through the summer. By the start of the 2026–27 school year, the expansion and renovations will be complete, bringing renewed cohesion, energy, and flexibility to Cannon’s academic spaces.

One of the most exciting aspects of this work is the transformation of our science labs, which have not been updated in more than 20 years. These new labs will allow for more dynamic, hands-on learning experiences and expanded course offerings, further positioning Cannon as a leader in science education.

In a video message, Dr. Maryanna Ter Poorten offers a personal perspective on why she and her husband Jon chose to support this effort and the lasting impact Cannon’s renovated science labs will have on both students and teachers. As part of a group of healthcare professionals and scientists, alongside Drs. Jessica Bell and Naomi Simon, they have committed to investing in the future of science education at Cannon, helping to bring these transformative spaces to life.

Watch Dr. Ter Poorten's video. 

We are also proud to share that, through A Flourishing Future, our community has helped us surpass our original goal of $4.3 million, reaching $4,340,533 to date. As we enter the final phase of the campaign, this milestone is a powerful reflection of belief in Cannon’s mission and in the promise of our students.

Since breaking ground in June 2025, the Upper School expansion has progressed steadily and remains on schedule and within budget. What began as a vision is quickly becoming reality, with major systems in place and learning spaces starting to take shape.

As the campaign comes to a close on June 30, there is still an opportunity to make a pledge or a gift in support of A Flourishing Future, including joining Cannon scientists and medical professionals by making a gift towards naming the science labs as a collective. If you have questions or would like to learn more about how to participate, please contact Amy Hunt, Director of Advancement.

We are incredibly grateful for how far we’ve come and excited for what lies ahead. Thank you for being part of Cannon’s flourishing future as we bring this campaign to a close.

For Helen Craft ‘23, a curiosity for building and problem-solving started early in her learning journey and it hasn’t slowed down since.

Now a junior at Tulane University, Helen is majoring in biomedical engineering with a minor in electrical engineering. She’s especially interested in designing surgical implants related to the heart and electrophysiology, with a focus on making those innovations as accessible as possible.

Her interest in engineering can be traced back to her time at Cannon, where she was a familiar face in the Middle School Think Tank makerspace. What began with small projects, like making jewelry, quickly grew into something more. By eighth grade, Dean of Innovation & Technology Leigh Northrup remembers Helen’s inquisitive mindset: “What else can I make?” That mindset pushed her from simple creations to more complex builds, including learning how to use the 3D printer.

At Tulane, Helen found a natural extension of that hands-on learning through service-based engineering work. She became involved with Tikkun Olam Makers, a group that designs affordable, open-source assistive devices using tools like 3D printing. Early on, she worked on Toddler Mobility Trainers, custom mobility devices for young children, and later became a fellow, building her skills in CAD and prototyping.

That experience led to a recent trip to Bo, Sierra Leone, where she helped create and fit prosthetic arms for individuals in an amputee community. Even getting there required problem-solving: Helen and her team had to carefully disassemble 3D printers and transport them overseas.

Once on the ground, no two days looked the same. From traveling to local hospitals to conducting fittings and prototyping in real time, the work was fast-paced and often unpredictable, but deeply meaningful.

“The most rewarding part was putting the prosthetics on the people we made them for,” Helen shared. “They were so excited and grateful. It made all the hard work and difficult travel worth it. One professor told me, ‘what you're doing is changing lives,’ and I’ll always remember that.”

Looking back, Helen credits much of her growth to being willing to try, fail, and try again. “My biggest advice is to fail at stuff—a lot,” she said. “Trying different approaches, even if you don’t think they’ll work, is how you grow. Some of the ideas that didn’t work at all ended up leading me to some of the best ones.”

From asking “what else can I make?” in the Cannon makerspace to applying those skills in real-world settings, Helen’s journey shows how early curiosity can grow into meaningful, hands-on impact.

At Cannon School, creativity shows up in all kinds of places, but for senior Madikay Ndiaye ’26, it’s taken him somewhere pretty extraordinary: all the way to publishing his first novel.

Madikay, who joined Cannon as a sophomore, is a familiar presence across campus. Whether competing in wrestling meets, sprinting on the track, performing on stage, or contributing to The Ink literary journal, he has immersed himself in a wide range of activities. But at his core, he’s always seen himself as a writer and an artist at heart. That passion goes all the way back to fifth grade, when he first started getting serious about storytelling.

Inspiration can come from unexpected places, and Madikay is quick to laugh when he shares his own: the television series Riverdale. What began as casual entertainment sparked his curiosity and led him to start writing short stories, laying the foundation for what would eventually become his debut novel, The Mirror of Narcissus, now published and available through Amazon.

He began writing the novel in June 2025, driven by a desire to push his craft to the next level. A key influence during this period was his Upper School English teacher, Richard Smith. In Smith’s AT Literature class, Madikay found both encouragement and freedom to experiment with his voice and style. One book in particular, As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, ended up being a turning point. It helped him think differently about how to structure a story and how to bring multiple perspectives and personalities to life.

His own novel follows a young bartender named Leon, a narcissist, and his relationship with a painter named Gaetana, a pathological liar. Primarily, the novel focuses on how different personalities interact and sometimes clash. It’s a story driven by character, something Madikay became especially interested in as his writing evolved. The book itself is also a collaborative effort in a way: its cover art was created by his classmate, Gabriel Lopez ’26, adding another layer of Cannon creativity to the final product.

The process of writing The Mirror of Narcissus wasn’t easy. It took about nine months, with lots of drafts and rewrites along the way. “Starting was the hardest part,” he says. To stay on track, he set a goal of writing 800 words a day. Balancing that with school, sports, and everything else wasn’t simple, but his commitment to the story kept him going.

Now that the book is out in the world, the feeling is still hard to believe. “Expected, but surreal,” is how he describes it. Madikay recently shared his journey during his senior Capstone presentation, drawing a packed audience of around 60 people into the library annex. There, he spoke not only about the technical aspects of writing but also about its deeper purpose, posing a central question: What does it mean to create?

For Madikay, it means adding something meaningful to the world. As he put it, creating is about making the world better by contributing to it, not taking away from it. That idea connects to his favorite quote: “The earth is just a rock without the voices of art.”

Looking back, he says the biggest shift for him was mental. “It’s the difference between belief and knowledge,” he explains. “Once I stopped believing I would write a book and started knowing I would finish it, everything changed.”

As for what’s next, Madikay is still figuring that out, but he knows writing will be part of it. He’s interested in majoring in creative writing and continuing to grow as an artist.

The Mirror of Narcissus is now available online.

Upper School psychology teacher Paula Hylton recently launched the North Carolina Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools (NCTOPSS), a new professional network for high school psychology educators. Cannon School supported this initiative by serving as the host site for the organization’s inaugural conference this past weekend, helping bring together educators from across the region.

The idea for NCTOPSS began as part of Hylton’s goal to create more opportunities for collaboration and professional development among psychology teachers across the state. To support the project, she applied for and received the American Psychological Foundation Outreach Grant through the Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools (TOPSS), the high school division of the American Psychological Association (APA). Prior to this effort, no formal regional network for psychology teachers had taken hold in North Carolina.

Planning began in the fall with a survey to gauge interest among educators. Based on strong responses, a leadership team was formed, including Katie Fisher, Upper School social studies teacher at Cannon, and Ana Chapman, AP/IB psychology teacher at Charlotte Country Day School. The team worked together to secure funding, gain official approval for the organization, and connect with leaders of established regional networks across the country for guidance. Groups such as CHITOPSS in Chicago and MINTOPSS in Minnesota provided helpful models for what a successful network could look like.

The conference brought together educators from a variety of schools and districts, including Providence Day School, Charlotte Country Day School, Charlotte Christian School, North Mecklenburg High School, Cabarrus County Schools, and Myers Park High School. The primary goal was to build connections among psychology teachers while also providing a space to share classroom strategies, activities, and ideas. To enhance the experience, Hylton also arranged for the CEC coffee cart, staffed by Upper School students, to serve coffee throughout the conference, a detail that highlighted student entrepreneurship and was appreciated by participants.

As Hylton explained, “I have benefited from a variety of professional development experiences that have taken me around the country to meet amazing teachers and professors. However, if you asked me who teaches high school psychology in Charlotte, I wouldn't be able to give you any names. This is an opportunity to meet your neighbor and feel seen in a course that often feels like an island.”

Feedback from participants showed that the event met the goals of the conference. Teachers appreciated the opportunity to connect with peers, exchange resources, and leave with ideas they could apply in their own classrooms. Many expressed interest in attending future events and noted that the experience helped them feel more supported and connected within their field.

The conference also included a touching personal moment, as Katie Fisher was reunited with her former AP Psychology teacher, an example of the lasting relationships that can shape educators’ careers.

The inaugural conference set a strong foundation for future growth, highlighting both the need for and the value of a dedicated network for psychology educators in North Carolina. By hosting the inaugural NCTOPSS conference, Cannon School has helped create new opportunities for collaboration and professional growth. This event demonstrated how educators can strengthen their impact through connection, shared ideas, and a commitment to their field.

The Cannon Athletics Leadership Academy (CALA), Powered by CAB celebrated an exciting milestone this spring with the completion of its inaugural “soft launch” cohort. Thirty-nine student-athletes committed fully to this experience, laying the foundation for a unified vision of leadership across Cannon Athletics.

Rooted in the pillars of Leadership, Scholarship, Community, and Service, CALA is designed to intentionally develop student-athletes as leaders within their teams and throughout the broader school community. Throughout the spring, participants engaged in meaningful conversations, reflection, and skill-building aimed at strengthening team culture, fostering accountability, and leading with purpose both on and off the field. Their involvement has already begun to shape a stronger, more connected athletic community grounded in shared values.

This soft launch has provided valuable insight as we refine and expand the Academy, reinforcing our belief that leadership doesn’t just happen—it is built intentionally, one athlete, one team, one moment at a time.

Looking ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, the momentum continues to grow. More than 90 student-athletes have applied and been accepted into CALA’s first full-year cohort, representing the classes of 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. This next phase will deepen the Academy’s impact through consistent, actionable leadership development and a sustained commitment to building a championship culture driven by student-athletes. 

We are proud of the strong start and excited for the future of leadership at Cannon.

Thank you to Cannon Athletics Boosters (CAB) for supporting CALA during this building year and for the commitment to support the 2026-2027 season. Thank you as well to the following planning committee members who built this program: Brittany Pasut (Director), Chris Satterfield, Tom Booker, Katherine Fisher, Hayley Goldman, Emily Nash, Shawn Powell, Steve Schattner, Thomas Underwood, and Casey Harrell.
