Student of the Week
Congratulations to Jaxon Keith, an eighth-grade student at Canton Junior High School, on being named our Student of the Week!
Jaxon is the son of Joshua and Brooke Keith and has been a proud Canton ISD student since kindergarten. His teachers describe him as intelligent and engaged, someone who consistently contributes thoughtful ideas to class discussions.
Jaxon's favorite subject is math, where he excels academically. Outside of the classroom, he stays actively involved in football, basketball, Student Council, and Ag.
When he's not competing on the field or court, Jaxon enjoys playing video games, playing board games with his family, and hanging out with friends. For the future, he's considering a career in business, though he's still exploring his options. One interesting fact about Jaxon: out of all the vacations he's been on, his absolute favorite place to visit was Chicago!
Mrs. McLeod shared:
"Jaxon is an all-around great kid who excels both in the classroom and on the field. He sets a positive example each day at CJH, and we are proud to recognize him for his contributions to our campus community."
