Cannon County High School

I loved the small school feeling at CCHS, until there became a problem with bullying. My child has been called names and made fun of daily. Currently there is no policy for this behavior. We need to teach our children to take a stand and not allow bullies in our schools. If the school cannot write a policy it will be up to the parents to stand up for our kids. We need parents who will set an example for our children by standing up for them and all the ones to afraid to speak out.

cchs is a great school. I played football, baseball, and I went to a lot of the basketball games. I graduated in 2007 and the school has changed a lot since then. The teachers there are amazing. They care a lot about each and every student. The school offers a lot of sports and clubs we have. The best FFA program in the state it is excellent our BETA and JR BETA go to nationals every year that I know off. As for sports we have football, basketball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, softball. And if you get involved in any of these programs the community will respect you and notice you. By the end of 2012 6 out 8 of my brothers and sisters will have graduated from CCHS. I could write about this school for hours and hours cause this school and community has done a lot for me. -Franz Walkup

My granddaughter is a 2nd yr. student at CCHS this yr. Last yr. I wrote on this web site about my concerns for her safety there because of all the bullying & harrassment she had to endure on a daily basis. Same thing again this year, same crying out to her teachers, coach, the principal and school board for help. Same lack of concern. With the same problems year after year and allowing same bunch of troublemakers to attend year after year, it's obvious that getting any kind of help at the local level is a waste of time. So it's time to go national. TV, radio, newspaper. I urge you. Whatever it takes to bring this matter to the forefront to keep our kids safe at Cannon County High School. Get out there and contact these folks. Thank you and God Bless!

I graduated from Cannon County in May, and I must say that as far as the teachers go, most of them are wonderful. The majority of the teachers are caring, intelligent, and are determined to help their students succeed. Of course there are always a few who could use improvement. The atmosphere is that of a large family. I'm not saying everyone gets along, but it would be insane to expect that. My senior year, the school witnessed a tragedy and everyone pulled together to make it through. It's true that CCHS is not the most greatly funded school, but that isn't up to them. It's up to the government. And yes, students get rowdy at sports events, but guess what, it's because they're' kids! So, if you're looking for a school where your child will be taught by teachers who will help them succeed, I strongly suggest CCHS!

I believe Cannon County High School is wonderful. The teachers are caring and knowledgeable. The students truly care for each other. My son says it is a big family.

I attended cannon county high school from freshman year and graduated a lion in may of 2005 and I loved it. I like the idea that the teachers can know their students on a more friendly basic. As for the teachers, they were all great. -Anonymous

My kids went to Cannon County schools. Academically, the schools were very good. The high school Math and English programs were superior, science was also, until the teacher found a better paying job elsewhere. The music program was horrible. I was so disappointed as to the support the school board, community, and parents gave the program. I was also disappointed as to the methods the band director used to teach music. It's was a sad/happy day when we moved from CAnnon County. Loved the people / the schools didn't offer alot of education opportunities.

I do not know how any parent can say such things about a school that his or her child is attending. I am proud to say that I go to Cannon High and will graduate in the fall. I have learned so much at my school because of the small setting and close student-teacher relationships. Anyone can sit on the sidelines of a basketball game and see the students being rowdy. Go to any high school game. As for the education, we have some of the most caring teachers of any school. They listen, come in early, stay late, go over quizzes, or help in any way they can. Sometimes, it is about the effort put forth by the student. Our teachers do not deserve to be put down. The negative comments do not help the school or the students. I have pride in Cannon County High School.
