Dear Families,

Welcome to Canton College Preparatory School–Home of the Spartans! Since opening our doors in 2013 the Spartan community has enjoyed tremendous growth as a beacon of academic excellence in downtown Canton and throughout Stark County. The success we’ve experienced has not materialized by accident. It has been through the hard work, dedication, and partnerships that have existed between school staff, parents, community members, and most importantly, our scholars.

During the course of the year, it is my hope that we will build on this formula for success and that our partnership will provide our scholars the best possible opportunities in preparing them for a college preparatory high school that ensures acceptance and graduation from a four-year college or university.

Thank you for choosing Canton College Prep!

In Partnership,
Reggie Corner
Principal
