Canton Public School District Founded in 1869, the Canton Public School District embodies a tradition of academic excellence.

The mission of the Canton Public School District, with full participation of parents and the community, is to enable all students to become analytical thinkers, self-directed lifelong learners, and effective communicators. The district’s goal is to prepare students to continue their education and /or to enter the global workplace and to participate in society as responsible citizens. Recognizing

that children are the community’s greatest asset and value, the district invites parents and the community to join with schools in serving as a perpetual bridge for the development of students’ character.

Canton Public School District Invests in Structured Literacy

Brainspring Phonics First and Shoney Harris, CPSD Director of Literacy & Early Childhood Education, hosted a week-long professional development opportunity for new teachers in the Canton Public School District. This intensive training reflects the district’s continued commitment to strengthening literacy instruction and equipping educators with research-based strategies to support student achievement.

The Phonics First approach is highly recommended for implementation in grades Pre-K through 3rd grade as part of the district’s continued focus on early literacy and reading achievement. By strengthening teachers’ knowledge of the science of reading and structured literacy practices, educators are better prepared to provide high-quality Tier I instruction, identify students who may require additional support, and deliver targeted interventions within the district’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).
