Canton High School

Every student who comes to Canton High School is worthy of respect, consideration, and the best professional guidance. We value and respect each student’s right to develop his/her own unique self according to those values he/she deems important. The development of these values is a major part of their educational process.

It is our obligation to challenge each student to achieve their personal potential. It is our responsibility to help him/her develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will help him/her become an effective human being, one who is well-informed, able to perceive him/herself in essentially positive ways, and able to adjust in society.

The education of a student is not limited to experience in school but includes all experiences including the manner and degree those experiences affect his/her thinking, attitudes, and behavior. We, therefore, need to combine our efforts with the home, community, and social agencies in order to utilize all resources for the benefit of the student.

As those who assume a major role in the student’s process of education, our most important consideration is “what happens” in the teacher-learning process while in school. Among all factors that enter into this process, the teachers are the most crucial. With the teacher’s own unique personality, the dynamics of relationships and learning in the classroom is influenced.
