Welcome back! We’re so glad to have your children with us for the 2026–2027 school year!
To keep you informed and involved, we’re continuing to use Rooms, our two-way communication tool that helps you stay connected with your child’s teachers and school staff.
And this year, the experience will be even better.
To get the most out of the new updates, be sure to download or update the Minerva Local School District App available in the App Store and Google Play. It’s the easiest way to get messages, announcements, and updates—all in one place, and always in our school’s brand.
What do you need to do to get started?
If you have our Minerva Local School District app downloaded, please make sure it is updated to the latest version.
Check out this overview of Rooms, or watch this short video to refresh yourself on all things Rooms.
We’re here to help make communication simpler, more consistent, and easier to manage, so you never miss a moment in your child’s school experience.
Here’s to a great year ahead!
🏈Minerva vs United-
🗺️Hines Stadium- 7:00 PM
🦁Go Lions!
CANTON REPOSITORY:
Minerva football’s outlook
Minerva was one of the best stories in the area in 2025. The Lions took a big leap forward and went 5-5 under Zach Slates in his first year. That was the most wins in a season since 2013 (6-5). ... Minerva will face some challenges this season. The Lions lost nearly the entire offensive line, but Isiah Willison is a tremendous returning starter to build around. Timmy Kirkpatrick should find ways to gain yards and put up numbers offensively. Kirkpatrick broke out as a sophomore and should be stronger this season after a year in the offseason weight program. ... Getting athletes such as Almasy and Tarbet from other sports is another promising sign. Attracting athletes from other sports and maintaining numbers from the middle school program is a point of emphasis as the Lions focus on continued growth. ... This is a young team overall that may take some time to find its way, but expect Slates to maximize the potential of this group.

We Proudly Serve Our Member Districts:
Brown Local Schools
Fairless Local Schools

Northwest Local Schools
Tuslaw Local Schools
First Day of School:
Tuesday, August 18, 2026 (JUNIORS ONLY)

We are committed to being the best Career Center in Ohio for our member school districts. We appreciate all the support we have received from our Board of Education and our local business and industry partners, which allows us to continue providing students with an exceptional Career-Technical Education experience as one of the top career centers in Ohio. We have also continued to provide our highly trained teaching staff with teaching strategies utilizing MAX Teaching, AI, and collaboration with increased attention on our Academic and CTE programs.
We are grateful for the completion of renovations to our building, including: Asphalt Sealing & Repair, Replacement of A/C Rooftop Units, Roof Replacement (Phase 1), Server Upgrade, Skylight Replacement, Updated Building Signage, and Upgrades to Auditorium Lighting. The recently added HVAC Lab area continues to provide students with the opportunity to gain skills and industry credentials in a new, state-of-the-art facility equipped with the industry’s best equipment and tools. The expansion is due to growth in our HVAC program and overall enrollment.
Our early college program, “Zip to an Associate's,” with the University of Akron, is thriving, with student enrollment per grade increasing to 50. This 2-year program gives students the opportunity to earn an Associate’s Degree while attending our career center at no cost to the students and their families and continuing enrollment in any one of our CTE Programs. In addition, interactive televisions are available to use in all academic classrooms.
Lastly, we are excited about our new partnership with our Local JATC Electrical Apprenticeship and our Construction Program. Our unique partnership will include electrical trades training by Journeymen Electricians, which will provide additional credentials and credits that can be applied toward an Electrical Apprenticeship upon graduation. Due to this excellent opportunity, our Construction program will expand to accept an additional 25 students per year beginning in the fall of 2027, increasing enrollment from 50 to 100 students.
