Cannon School

A vision for the future. A commitment to what matters most.

We’re excited to unveil Cannon School’s new five-year Strategic Vision, a community-driven roadmap designed to strengthen the student experience, invest in our people, and deepen the connections that define Cannon.

This is more than a plan. It’s a shared commitment to preparing students for a rapidly changing future while staying true to the values that make our school unique.

Games were won, songs were sung, yearbooks were signed.

That’s a wrap on the school year for our Lower and Middle School students! Our last day was full of smiles, celebrations, and a few sweet surprises.

Have the best summer, Cougars! See you back in August.

This week, Cannon’s Lower School hosted its first-ever Career Day, an event imagined and led by fourth grade student and Lower School Student Council President Nina Morrell ’34. From bakers and farmers to chefs, chemists, and authors, students explored inspiring career paths through hands-on experiences and conversations.

What started as one student’s idea became a day our Lower School won’t forget. The future’s looking pretty bright for these Cougars!

Just days before graduation, our seniors gathered with family, faculty, and staff for the annual Senior Breakfast at the Speedway Club.

Members of the Class of 2026 reflected on the memories they’ve made, the bonds that will last far beyond Cannon, and the gratitude they hold for the teachers and parents who supported them every step of the way. Here’s to the moments, the milestones, and the friendships that will always connect this class and their families.

The rain couldn’t dim the joy of Cannon School’s 28th Commencement.

Leading with purpose and beaming with pride, the Class of 2026 crossed the stage, received their diplomas, turned their tassels, and shared heartfelt moments of gratitude with classmates, families, and faculty.

Alumna Jess Ekstrom ’09 delivered an inspiring keynote, encouraging graduates to embrace uncertainty, take chances, and discover their truest selves.

Congratulations to our newest class of Cougar alumni. Your journey is just beginning.

Cougars forever.

Dear , the Class of 2026 has officially entered the chat. 🎓

A little rain couldn’t stop this celebration, and it won’t stop this class either. Congratulations to an extraordinary group of graduates! We can’t wait to see all that’s ahead for you.

Go be great, Cougars.

After 18 remarkable years at Cannon, this week we celebrated Head of Upper School Fabio Hurtado and his wife, Teresita Hurtado, as they prepare for their next chapter in Ohio.

Faculty and friends gathered for an evening filled with heartfelt tributes, laughter, salsa music, and plenty of Cuban flair, a fitting celebration for two people who have brought so much joy, leadership, and hard work to our Upper School community.

The Hurtados’ impact on Cannon will be felt for years to come, and while we will miss them greatly, we are excited for all that lies ahead. Safe travels this summer, Fabio and Teresita—Cannon will always be grateful for you both.
