NATIONAL PRINCIPAL’S DAY
Friday was National Principal’s Day, and I would like to express my gratitude to our campus principals for all that they do every day. Their position comes with long hours, high stress, and often very little appreciation. We are blessed to have such an amazing group of leaders who truly have their student’s and staff’s best interests at heart. Thank you!
NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH HERO DAY
Friday was also National School Lunch Hero Day, and I would like to recognize our cafeteria staff for their great work. They are a critical piece of our success and start each day, often long before we have gotten out of bed, preparing meals for our students. Thank you to our team from Chartwells and their leader, Mrs. Christy McClelen!
Student of the Week
Congratulations to Kamia Mitchell, a student at Canton High School, for being recognized as this week’s Canton ISD Student of the Week.
Kamia is the daughter of Lacey Leblanc and has attended Canton ISD since Pre-K/Kindergarten. Her favorite subject is Math, and after high school, she is interested in pursuing a career in sonography, with a goal of becoming an ultrasound sonographer.
She is involved in Art Club, basketball, and track. Outside of school, Kamia enjoys hanging out with friends, baking, and playing basketball. Something interesting about Kamia is that she would also like to braid hair as a side job.
Kamia is described by her teachers as an amazing student and young lady who consistently gives 100% in everything she does. She stays on top of her responsibilities, brings a positive attitude to class, and is always willing to help her peers.
Mrs. Hawk shared, “Kamia is a highly motivated, kind, and positive student. With her strong passion for healthcare, I can’t wait to see the great things she will accomplish in radiology or ultrasound.”
Mrs. Stapleton added, “Kamia is an outstanding student who is athletic, responsible, and friendly to her classmates. Academically, she works well with others, always gives her best effort, and consistently pushes herself to do even better. Her positive attitude and strong work ethic make her a wonderful role model for those around her.”
Mrs. Harber praised Kamia’s servant heart, saying, “Kamia has such a sense of confidence about her that can’t be overlooked. She is always helping organize, clean, and has a true servant’s heart. Love her!”
Mrs. Oliver also noted Kamia’s character and work ethic, saying, “Kamia is consistently polite, works hard in everything she does, and maintains a positive, pleasant attitude each day. She approaches her responsibilities with dedication and treats others with kindness and respect.”
Kamia represents the very best of Canton High School through her confidence, kindness, responsibility, and commitment to excellence. We are proud to recognize her as the Canton ISD Student of the Week.
