Student of the Week
We are proud to recognize Natalie Garcia as our Canton High School Student of the Week!
Natalie is known for her bright smile, positive attitude, and willingness to help with anything that’s needed. She has a giving heart and is admired for her ability to balance the demands of FFA activities with her schoolwork. Natalie is a joy to be around and an outstanding role model for her peers at CHS.
Teachers share:
-“She is exceptionally hardworking and had great success at the State Fair of Texas with her swine project!”
“Natalie is uplifting to everyone around her and always gives her best in everything she does.”
-“As one of our most responsible FFA officers, she rallied the most food for our food drive and continues to be a leader for our chapter.”
-“Natalie could be Student of the Week any given week! She is hardworking, caring, genuine, full of school spirit, and determined to succeed. She recently led her FFA team to victory in the Rusk vs. Canton food drive and made the sale with her market hog project at the State Fair. The world needs more Natalies!”
