The list of Stark County High Schools that have decided to ban the use of Cell Phones continues to grow.

Northwest, East Canton and Washington High Schools decided to adopt the policy this year, joining other schools in the County including Perry, Louisville and Marlington.

Several years ago the devices were looked at as a resource and students were permitted to use them in the classroom, but over the last few years as more schools have been able to provide students with laptops to use during classes, the phones have become more of a distraction.
