“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” — C.S. Lewis

Student of the Week

We are proud to recognize Kellan McDaniel as our Canton ISD Student of the Week. Kellan, the son of Austin and Breanne McDaniel, is a third-grader at CIS. Kellan has been part of our Canton family since kindergarten, and his presence has truly made an impact. Known for his kindness and positive attitude, Kellan is always ready to lend a helping hand, whether in the library or the cafeteria, setting a great example for others at CIS.

Kellan's favorite subjects include English, Math, and Social Studies, showing his enthusiasm for learning across a variety of areas. Outside the classroom, he's active in basketball and football, with a love for baseball as well. When thinking about the future, Kellan dreams of becoming an engineer.

One interesting fact about Kellan is his dedication to the word "pray," a word that holds special meaning to him.

Congratulations Kellan on being named our Canton ISD Student of the Week!
