Superintendent's Message

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." – Melody Beattie

STUDENT OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to Noah Cheatham, our Canton ISD Student of the Week!

Noah, a senior, is the son of Robert and Misty Cheatham. He is active in FFA, and his favorite subject is Agricultural Mechanics. When he graduates, he plans to enter the medical field. Outside of school, Noah enjoys fishing and hunting.

Teacher Comments:

“Noah is the most honest, hardworking, team player of a person I can think of.”

“He is always willing to lend a helping hand and is very deserving of Student of the Week! I have never heard a bad word about him from anyone!”

“Noah is a quiet leader in our FFA Chapter. Recently, he has taken a leadership role on his Radio Broadcasting Team, reducing the workload for FFA Advisors while maintaining a positive attitude.”

“Noah is ALWAYS respectful and kind. He is an excellent example of someone with a strong work ethic.”

“Noah is a role model for younger students and always the first to help where help is needed.”
