Superintendent's Message

"Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see." — Neil Postman
 
The excitement a new year brings is always so inspiring. All of the hopes and aspirations that each child and family carry as they enter our halls remind me of the greater purpose we serve. We are looking forward to making the 2026–2027 school year another great one. 

Distict

On Friday, the Texas Education Agency released the 2026 Accountability Ratings, and Canton ISD earned an overall score of 86 for a "B" rating. Canton High School and Canton Junior High each earned an "A," while Canton Intermediate and Canton Elementary each earned a "C."
 
Canton High School posted an overall score of 92 for its "A" rating and earned 4 of 7 state distinction designations, placing in the top quartile of its campus group in Reading/Language Arts, Math, Science, and Postsecondary Readiness.
 
Canton Junior High also earned an "A" with an overall score of 90, taking 5 of 7 distinctions — top quartile in Reading/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Closing the Gaps, and Academic Growth.
 
Each year, the state groups every campus with 40 others of similar size and student population, then awards distinctions only to those in the top 25%. We are extremely proud to reach those milestones.
