  • Essay / Canton High School is the Best - 775

    In 2002, The Park was officially opened, making it the only three-high school campus in the United States (Canton High School Principal Hal Heard). The park is a unique place in Michigan. It is home to three high schools: Canton High School, Plymouth High School, and Salem High School, as well as more than 220 extracurricular activities, all for the more than six thousand students who attend there.

Even though the Plymouth football team was reasonably close with a record of five wins – four losses, they are still nowhere near as good as the Canton football team. The Plymouth football team's wins and the Salem football team's combined wins only match Canton's football wins. This shows how much better Canton football is than both high school football teams.

The fact that Canton sports is better than other sports programs makes it the best. Secondly, three academies were introduced into the park in 2012.
