Congratulations to our Canton ISD Student of the Week, Lawsyn Liptak. Lawysn is a 1st-grader in Mrs. Cheatham’s class. She enjoys math, loves playing outside, basketball, and cheer. Lawsyn dreams of becoming a veterinarian and has a special love for the Eagles, zebras, and giraffes. Mrs. Wiley says, “she is a hardworking student who participates actively in class. Lawsyn is also a kind and helpful friend, always ready to assist others without being asked. She soars like a Canton Eagle, making her a joy to have at school.”

We are thrilled to announce the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Canton High School, which will take place on September 27th at 9:00 a.m. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place at the future site of the new high school and multi-purpose facility. 

The release of accountability ratings have been delayed, at least, until September. The hearing, initially scheduled for this week, has been postponed until September 16th. TEA is prohibited from issuing 2024 ratings until the court issues a follow-up Order after the hearing. 

On Tuesday night our Eaglettes defeated Sulphur Springs in 4 sets. On Friday night they completed a clean sweep of Rains with all of our teams winning. In junior high action our 8B team defeated Scurry-Rosser. 

On Friday night our Eagles opened the 2024 season with a commanding 21-8 win over Nevada Community. Our freshman team fell to Nevada Community on Thursday night 20-18, while the JV fell 26-25 in a nailbiter.
