Canton City School District
History
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2023) |
In 1824, James Lathrop, a Connecticut native, gathered a group of Canton businessmen to fund the building of Canton Academy on the site of what later became Timken High School.
In 2015, the district's Board of Education voted to approve the "One Community, One School" proposal, which combined the student populations of McKinley High School and Timken High School into one school building. McKinley High School would serve as the single high school for the school district, while Timken would serve as the freshman campus of McKinley as well as hosting the Timken Early College High School and several district-supported career and technical education programs.
In 2023, the superintendent submitted a proposal to make it so that students who had missed classes have to fulfill extra criteria to get credit for those classes.
