Student of the Week

Superintendent's Message

“If you are disturbed by external events, it is not the events themselves that trouble you, but your own judgment about them.” —Epictetus

Student of the Week

We are proud to recognize Ivy Grix, a 5th grader in Mrs. Day’s class, as our Canton ISD Student of the Week!
 
Ivy has been part of Canton ISD since 1st grade and is the daughter of Craig and Alexis Grix. Her favorite subject is Reading, and each morning, Ivy spends time reading and playing with Mrs. Elerson’s class. Ivy is also actively involved in volleyball. Ivy dreams of becoming a Special Education Teacher.
 
According to Dr. Lloyd:
“Ivy exhibits the Eagle Vision characteristics of leadership and integrity and exemplifies kindness on a daily basis. Her teacher, Mrs. Day, shared how exceptional Ivy is with her kind spirit and the way she looks out for others. Mr. Watters and I both agree that Ivy represents CISD in a positive light, and we are honored to celebrate her as our Student of the Week!” 

Bond Project

Work has slowed this week with the weather, but progress is still being made as the roof is nearing completion on the multi-purpose and the steel continues to go up on the Henry Lewis Gymnasium. Below are a few videos from this week's work. 
 
 
The first provides a look at the gymnasium and you can see the bleacher areas starting to take shape and the stairwells are being installed. The second clip is another exterior view of both facilities. We are hoping the gym and multi-purpose will be complete by December/January of next year, with the high school being completed later in the spring of 2027.
