Student of the Week

Congratulations to our Canton ISD Student of the Week, 8th grader Kinsley Wallis. Kinsley is the daughter of Vernon and Allison Wallis. Kinsley enjoys history and is involved in track, cheerleading and cross country. Outside of school, Kinsley likes to play softball, golf, fishing and hunting. She would also like to become a Game Warden when she grows up.

Mrs. McLeod adds that "Kinsley exemplifies what it means to be a positive role model for her peers, both inside and outside the classroom. Whether she's focused on her academic achievements or striving toward her personal goals, she’s never afraid to put in the necessary effort. Her determination and dedication shine through in everything she does. These qualities highlight her strong character, and we are incredibly proud to have her as a part of our CJH community!" Congratulations, Kinsley!
