I have been attending Canton ISD since I first started school in kindergarten. I love how I was able to make life long friends and be able to get involved with many activities, one of which was band and it has taught me most of the life building skills that I have learned throughout high school. A lot of the teachers are great and I'm really happy to get to some of them.

Overall I enjoyed my time at Canton High School. The high standards really pushed me to do my best and I feel very prepared for college now. I excelled in academics and band and could not have done it without my school's foundation, but there were certain aspects of the school that were lacking such as the schools attention to UIL Academics and One Act Play. I'm grateful for my amazing teachers and would not have chosen to go anywhere else.

It's an okay place. It's like any other high school, but smaller. This high school is semi-strict and does not allow any bullying or fights. If you are not a good student when you come here, you will most likely leave quickly then.

They only care about the students who excel in school. The ones who need a little help get forgoten and left behind.
