“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”
—Booker T. Washington

Sun Lee displayed passion by serving as a guest speaker in Honors World History I classes. He did an awesome job educating students about syncretism in Korean culture. Well done!

Kudos to Teri Pridgen for her KINDNESS as she made goodie bags filled with snacks and words-of-encouragement notes for each member of the girls’ basketball team.

Many thanks to Meadow Campurciani, KJ Taylor, Quincy Booker and Judah King for their TEAMWORK in helping decorate the girls’ locker room on Friday while they were watching film to prepare to play in the state championship game.

Spring 2023 Driver Education Program (Virtual)

This year, Cannon School has contracted with a local company to offer a virtual driver education program during the spring semester. Classes and behind-the-wheel instruction will be provided by WatsOnWheels (https://www.watsonwheelsnc.com/). WatsOnWheels has agreed to offer Cannon students a discount and provide the course for $350 per student.  The classes will be held Monday, March 20st – Friday, March 31st  from 4:00 – 7:00 (virtually), and the maximum number of spaces available is 25.

Students must be 14½ years of age when the classes begin to be eligible to register. To complete the class, students must have thirty hours of class time and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.  We hope to offer another class in the fall through WatsOnWheels, but we have yet to schedule specific dates. 

After the class portion is complete, the instructor will coordinate with students individually to complete the behind-the-wheel requirements during their school drop periods or after school hours.

The $450 fee is due on the first day of class and may be charged to the student’s Cannon School account or paid in the form of a check made out to “Watson Wheels LLC”.
