Congratulations to our Canton ISD Student of the Week, 8th grader Cale Clayton!
Cale is the son of Jennifer and Chet Clayton and has been a Canton Eagle since kindergarten. His favorite subjects are English and Reading, and he is active in football, basketball, and track. Outside of school, Cale enjoys reading, swimming, and hiking. Looking toward the future, he is interested in pursuing a career in banking.
Mr. Robison shared, “Cale is an outstanding young man in and out of the classroom. He is always ready to help out anyone who needs it, has an outgoing personality, a positive attitude and exemplifies everything we hope to see in our students.”
Mrs. Strickland describes Cale as a “born leader” who is responsible and always participates in class, while Mrs. Bennett notes his kindness, respect for others, community involvement, and maturity. Others point to his great manners, strong work ethic, happy disposition, and willingness to lend a helping hand, often without even being asked.
