Canton High School (CHS) is a secondary school in Canton, Massachusetts, United States.
Canton High School is situated in Canton, about 15 mi (24 km) southwest of downtown Boston. First discussed in 1866 among prominent members of the town of Canton, the high school was established in 1869, when, for the first time, four classes were educated in the same building at a grammar school in South Canton.[3]
In 1911 the Hemenway School became Canton's principal high school due to the population increase and a need for a larger building. It became an elementary school in 1950 after high school students transferred to a new building.[4]
Statistics
The student body makeup is 49 percent male and 51 percent female, and the total minority enrollment is 24 percent.[5]
