Canton Independent School District prides itself on the first-rate quality of its schools. Community support, parental involvement, a dedicated staff, outstanding facilities, and innovative programs are factors that make our schools excellent learning environments. A diversified curriculum is available because the district's Board of Trustees and Staff believe that all children should be educated to the best of their abilities and that learning opportunities tailored to individual needs, interest, and skills should be provided. In addition, extensive co-curricular and athletic activities are available. In 1996, the district served a student population of approximately 1700 students.
