Canton Local School District is a school district south of Canton, Ohio, United States. It is a public school district for the students living in the area of Canton Township and Pike Township. The area is commonly referred to as "Canton South".
The school district is made up of one high school (Canton South High School), one middle school, and three elementary schools. The four school buildings in the area are Canton South High School, Faircrest Memorial Middle School, and two elementary schools: Amos McDannel Elementary and Walker Elementary.
Walker elementary was the district middle school until 1984, and the district had three other schools: Waco Elementary, Trump Elementary and North Industry Elementary. Waco Elementary was sold to a private owner, Trump Elementary was converted into the Rosemary Johnson Child Development Center (named for the former principal of the school), and North Industry Elementary school was shut down. When these schools left the district, Walker Middle School was converted to Walker Elementary, and the student body from the three schools was consolidated.
Prairie College elementary ceased being an elementary school for the school year beginning 2008. It is now a public preschool.
