As the 2025-2026 school year comes to a close, I would like to thank our students, parents, staff, and community members for making this another memorable year at CISD. I hope everyone has a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer!

Teacher Apprciation Week
Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week, and it should go without saying how incredible our staff is at CISD!
I know the year has its ups and downs; however, the difference you make in the lives of our children is what matters most. Thank you for your sacrifice, for your heart, and for carrying the weight of the lives of the children you work with each day.
I also want to thank you for choosing this line of work and for choosing Canton ISD. We are blessed because of you!
This week’s video gives you a glimpse into the interior of each of our buildings.
First, you will see the inside of the high school, where metal studs are being installed and classroom areas are taking shape. You will also get a look at the ag science building, including the shop, classroom, and vet tech area.
Finally, you will see the exterior of the auxiliary gym, as well as the interior of the gym, locker room areas, and indoor facility.
Enjoy!
Student of the Week
Congratulations to Conway Mathis, a 1st grade student at Canton Elementary School, for being recognized as this week’s Canton ISD Student of the Week.
Conway is the son of Coy and Barbi Mathis and has attended Canton ISD since kindergarten. His favorite subject is reading, and outside of school, he enjoys playing soccer and spending time on his iPad. When Conway grows up, he would like to become a fireman.
Something people may not know about Conway is that he has a dog named Lollipop, and his family raises and sells French Bulldogs.
According to Mrs. Wiley:
“Conway truly represents Eagle Excellence in every way. He consistently demonstrates a kind heart and strong character, always choosing to do the right thing — even when no one is watching. He stands strong in his values and does not give in to peer pressure.
He works hard in all that he does, gives his best effort, and shows outstanding manners each day. His responsibility and trustworthiness make him someone others can count on.
Conway is a well-rounded, exceptional student, and any teacher would be lucky to have him. We are so proud of the example he sets for others.”
