The Road to the Gossage Cup


Lauren Benz showed TEAMWORK when she took attendance for the Rubio Advisory and shared it with Dean Booker. TY, Lauren!!!
 
We’re beyond proud of these 10 students who spent their Winterm doing something truly life-changing—they built a house for a family in need in Costa Rica! Throughout the project, they embodied the true Cannon spirit by showing kindness, teamwork, passion, and courage, every step of the way. Whether they were lifting beams or lifting each other’s spirits, they made a lasting impact, not just on the family but on everyone around them. Ryan Shue, Linden Sonnefeld, Neeva Gangopadhyay, Ian Mackall, Sally Woolwine, Hudson Higbea, Isaiah Scott, Alayna Poole, Neil Saini, Carlos García: You’ve inspired us all with your hard work and big hearts! Amazing work, Cannon TECHO troopers—you’ve made us all proud! 💪
 

The Cannon Athletics Boosters (CAB) recognizes the passion, discipline, and personal sacrifice necessary to compete in varsity sports, while also exceling in the classroom. To honor our young men and women who epitomize the attributes of commitment, leadership, sportsmanship, athletic ability and academics, we annually award the Cannon Athletics Boosters Student-Athlete Excellence Scholarship.


Scholarship: One male and one female scholar athlete will each receive a one-time $2,000 scholarship to
celebrate their respective character, exemplary work-ethic, and outstanding achievements.

 Use this link to learn more about process and criteria.

As the colder weather continues, the US Library would like to share a few important reminders:

  • To maintain a clean and welcoming study environment, please enjoy your lunch in the cafeteria.
  • Study rooms are designated for academic use only. If you’d like to watch a movie or play video games, please use the commons instead.
  • Help us keep the library organized for everyone by returning chairs to their proper place and disposing of any trash before you leave.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a productive and comfortable library space.

Leaders, please join us on Thursday for Leadership Lunch in Foundation Hall. 

We will hear from the man, the myth, the legend, Tram Tran, about the value of PASSION to leaders.  All are welcome.

Ayden Flaherty and Issy Stephens generously helped other students with their own gingerbread house activity after they had finished theirs. They both did a great job keeping others on track, and used what they had learned in their own efforts to support other students! Great job Ayden and Issy!
