History

Canton South High School opened in 1932, and serves students grades 9-12

The original Canton South High School stood from 1932 until 2017. In 2013, a levy was voted in favor of building a new high school that would begin construction in 2015 citing that the old building was outdated and had structural issues that needed to be addressed. The new school would stand adjacent to the old high school. [4]

Canton Souths new high school began operation in the 2017-18 school year, [5] their old high school would be demolished the same year. [6]
