To our students and families, thank you for another outstanding year. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve you and your families. It is a privilege we don’t take for granted.

Canton ISD Student of the Week
Congratulations to our final Student of the Week, Korbyn Richards. Korbyn is a second grader in Mrs. Wilson’s class and son of Joseph and Shelby Richards.
Korbyn’s favorite subject is Reading, and outside of school, he enjoys playing video games and spending time with his cat. He dreams of one day playing in the NFL. Something fun others may not know is that Jaxon is his cousin, and he’s friends with James.
According to Mrs. Wiley, “Korbyn leads with kindness, lifts others up, and is always ready to lend a helping hand. Whether it’s offering a smile, a kind word, or support when someone needs it, his positive energy makes CES a better place every day.”
District
With graduation Friday night I would like to recognize our top 3 graduating seniors. This year’s Valedictorian is Caroline Kroha, Salutatorian YoYo Jiang, and third ranking graduate Kara Pride. Not only are these students exceptional academically, they are great representatives of what makes our district so special.
