Loaner Computer Available
We understand that there are some students that do not have a device (such as a computer, phone, or tablet) to do their homework while we are away from school. Those students who are in need will be able to borrow a computer from the school. Unfortunately we do not have enough for all students in the district, but we want to help those that are in need. You have two options on how to contact us to let us know you need a computer.
1) Fill out the google form by clicking here. This will give us the information we need to get a computer ready for your student.
2) Call Maria Mayle at 330-488-0334 to speak with her about getting a computer. Please leave a message if no one answers.
**When you pick up the computer, you will need to fill out a computer borrower responsibility form.
Internet Access at Home
There a few options that the district has been made aware of when it comes to internet connectivity. Spectrum is offering free home internet to students during this crisis. You can contact Spectrum at 1-844-488-8395. The other option is contacting your cell phone carrier. Many of the carriers are offering free unlimited data to students for their phones. This will allow a student to use their phone as a hot spot to connect a computer so that homework can be done for school. Hopefully this will cover most connectivity issues. Please fell free to also use the WI-FI available by parking at the football stadium or Smith gym as well.
Google Learning
We understand that many teachers will be using Google Meet to have class over the next few weeks. Click the link https://youtu.be/_ftEhUczkII to watch a short video on how to join a meeting.

Utilizing STEM at all Building Levels
Osnaburg Local Schools has implemented STEM education at all building levels. STEM focuses on subject-specific learning, along with helping to foster inquiring minds, logical reasoning, and collaborative skills. East Canton’s STEM implementation grew from individual courses that focused on problem-based learning to a school-wide focus and culture of innovation. Since implementation, 100% of teachers have been trained in problem-based learning, which enhances the STEM practices at East Canton High.
A Focus on Problem Based Learning...
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which complex real-world problems are used as the vehicle to promote student learning of concepts and principles as opposed to direct presentation of facts and concepts. In addition to course content, PBL can promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills. It can also provide opportunities for working in groups, finding and evaluating research materials, and life-long learning (Duch et al, 2001).

East Canton High School
East Canton High School has earned a STEM designation from the Ohio Department of Education STEM Committee. This honor has only been awarded to 1.6% of schools across the state. ECHS is proud to be the first Stark County High School recognized with this distinction.
The STEM program which was implemented in 2012 has since expanded through community and business partnerships with Hendrickson Trailer Commercial Vehicle Systems, Pero Farms, Edhesive/Amazon, Pointful Education, and the Young Entrepreneur Grant Symposium to name a few.
These partnerships allow us to provide additional opportunities for staff and students as well as allowing us to share our lessons with other school districts. East Canton High School is on the forefront of leading-edge instructional practices. In addition to STEM, ECHS has implemented virtual reality, artificial intelligence, agricultural engineering, and computer science resources from Amazon into the curriculum.
ECHS Designated STEM School
EAST CANTON, Ohio - East Canton High School has earned a STEM designation by the Ohio STEM committee. This honor has only been awarded to 1.6% of schools across Ohio. East Canton High School becomes the first Stark County High School to be recognized with this distinction.
The STEM designation was recommended by a panel of policymakers, agency directors, and business leaders. The panel stated, “East Canton’s STEM implementation grew from individual courses that focused on problem-based learning to a school-wide focus and culture of innovation. Since implementation, 100% of teachers have been trained in problem-based learning, which enhances the STEM practices at East Canton High.”
The first STEM class at East Canton High School was basically financed by the three classroom teachers, and today through grants and district and business support, that district has been able to build a “makerspace” for students that holds both low tech and high tech equipment and materials from software to robotics to CNC machining to drones to 3-D printers.

Superintendent Kevin Finefrock stated, “East Canton teachers are state-wide leaders in the areas of innovation and problem-based learning. Their dedication to students, the community, and the teaching profession is remarkable. The collective dedication to implement research-based instructional practices is rooted from the desire to prepare our students to be critical thinkers, collaborators, and problem-solvers.”
“We are proud to welcome these new members of the Ohio STEM Learning Network as they join Ohio’s diverse, and fast-growing STEM community,” said Aimee Kennedy, Senior Vice-President of Education, STEM Learning and Philanthropy at Battelle. “Each new school broadens our perspective and grows the collective impact of this state’s strong STEM ecosystem.”
The Ohio STEM Committee is supported by the Ohio Department of Education.
