"The best thing to hold onto in life is each other." – Audrey Hepburn
Student of the Week
We are proud to recognize Avery Westmoreland, a 3rd-grader in Mrs. Morris’ class, as our Student of the Week! Avery is the daughter of Tad and Jessica Westmoreland.
Avery has been a part of Canton ISD since Kindergarten and has consistently demonstrated excellence in and out of the classroom. Her favorite subjects are Math and Reading, and she is actively involved in Cheer and Basketball. Outside of school, she enjoys playing basketball and has aspirations of becoming a veterinarian in the future.
One interesting fact about Avery is that she loves to sing!
Dr. Lloyd describes her as a true light at CIS: “Not only do her teachers share how she is a model student and incredibly kind, but she has also been one of the top point earners for her CIS House for both the 1st and 2nd Nine Weeks. The CIS House System is centered around our Eagle Vision and Eagle Etiquette, and Avery truly exemplifies these values.”

CHS Varsity Girls Golf:
Congratulations to our Varsity Girls Golf Team, who took 1st place as a team at the Alpine Invitational in Longview. Congratulations to Bella Irwin on taking 1st place and Jamie Robertson 3rd overall.
CHS Archery Team:
We are proud to recognize the CHS Archery Team for their impressive performance at two archery tournaments in Athens—a Bull’s Eye Tournament and a 3D Tournament.
Hunter Thompson led the team as CHS’s highest scorer in both tournaments, achieving scores of 254 and 263 (with 300 being a perfect score!).
The CHS Archery Team also represented Canton ISD with outstanding character. While having lunch at Whataburger, a grandmother praised our students for their respectful behavior, sharing how impressed she was with the way they carried themselves in public—something that makes us incredibly proud!
