Superintendent's Message

"A habit is first a wanderer, then a guest, and finally the boss."

Congratulations to our Canton ISD Student of the Week, 12th grader Garrett Walker. Garrett is the son of Gary and Cristi Walker. His favorite subject is Math and he hopes to become an engineer. Garrett is active in FCA, Basketball, and NHS. Outside of school, he enjoys hunting, fishing, golf, and fitness. Garrett says he “enjoys learning random skills that most people would not think of. I have learned to play chess, solve different Rubik's Cubes, finger skateboard, juggle, etc."
