Geography and history

Canton South High School is located at 40°44′59″N 81°22′23″W. It sits just within the unglaciated region of the Allegheny Plateau. The school is located near North Industry, an unincorporated area once known as Slabtown (for the slabs of wood once used as sidewalks in the past, which were available from local lumber mills).[5]

In 2011, the school was featured on an episode of Robert Irvine's hit series Restaurant: Impossible, centering on the Wildcat Cafe (formerly the Heritage Room), operated by the culinary students.
