The Canton School Committee meeting on March 13, 2025, highlighted several key achievements and upcoming events within the Canton Public Schools. Superintendent Follin opened the meeting with a report celebrating the success of the Canton High School (CHS) drama club, which is set to perform "Chicago" this weekend. The community is encouraged to attend the performances scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as a Sunday matinee.

In addition to the drama production, the CHS boys' hockey team is preparing for the state championship, marking their third trip to the finals in four years. Superintendent Follin emphasized the importance of community support and good behavior during the event, especially given its timing with the Saint Patrick's Day parade in Boston.

The meeting also featured discussions about the recent Tri County Superintendents Roundtable, where local legislators, including Senator Feeney, engaged with school leaders about budgetary needs and educational funding. Superintendent Follin noted a positive preliminary budget from the governor, which could lead to increased funding for the district.

The meeting recognized various student achievements, including the success of the emerging DECA team, which had five members qualify for the international tournament in Orlando. The robotics teams also received accolades for their community impact and performance at state championships.

A significant event discussed was the Special Education Parent Advisory Council Resource Fair, which successfully brought together families and organizations supporting students with special needs. This event was a collaborative effort with Stoughton, enhancing community engagement.

Superintendent Follin concluded the report by acknowledging the contributions of maintenance workers, social workers, and the importance of Women's History Month. The meeting wrapped up with reminders of upcoming events, including parent conferences and the "Artists in Bloom" exhibit at the Canton Public Library.

Overall, the meeting showcased the vibrant activities and achievements within the Canton Public Schools, highlighting the importance of community involvement and support for students and staff alike.
