Student of the Week
Congratulations to our Canton ISD Student of the Week, 11th grader Tucker Lester. Tucker is the son of Mark Lester. He has attended Canton since kindergarten and his favorite subject is math. He is active in band and theater. Mrs. Parker says, “Tucker is in advanced classes and makes all A’s. He works hard and is a silent leader and he is a force to be reckoned with on stage.”
