Canton Independent School District Home

"The clock is ticking. Make today matter—for you and for them." — Inspired by Steve Jobs

 

We are excited to share that Canton ISD once again made Educational Results Partnership’s 2024 Honor Roll list of top performing school districts in Texas. Also, Canton Intermediate and Canton Junior High made the Honor Roll list of top performing campuses.

 

This is the tenth year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll list, which recognizes top public schools, school districts and charter schools in Texas that have outperformed their peers in closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations.

 

 

We are proud to recognize Maddie Carlos, an 8th grader at Canton Junior High, as our Student of the Week! Maddie is the daughter of Carl and Tammy Carlos.

 

According to Mrs. McLeod, "Maddie is an exceptional student known for her wisdom, maturity, and quiet yet impactful leadership. With a calm and composed demeanor, she leads by example—earning the respect of peers and teachers alike through her dedication and academic excellence."

 

An Eagle since kindergarten, Maddie's favorite subject is Art, and she is active in Masters Art Class and Theatre–One Act Play, where her creativity and commitment take center stage. Outside of school she has studied violin for the past three years in Athens and enjoys writing non-fiction stories with her older sister.

 

Maddie dreams of becoming a meteorologist working behind the scenes at a TV station—using her talents in science and storytelling in a unique and meaningful way. And here's a fun fact: her favorite band is The Beatles.

 

Canton High School's One Act Play competed this week in district competition in Mabank with their performance of The Three Musketeers.
