About Us

At Canton Middle School, we believe the race for excellence has no finish line. Each day is a new opportunity to grow, lead, and support one another as we strive to become our best academically, socially, and emotionally.

Guided by our “Be the PRIDE” values — Prompt, Respectful, Involved, Dependable, and Extra — we are committed to building a community where students and staff feel seen, heard, and valued. We work together to create a place where everyone belongs, learning is rigorous, and the whole child is supported. We prepare students to become global change agents who lead with integrity, collaborate with purpose, and advocate for a better world.

The choice, as always, is yours. At Canton Middle School, we choose excellence, every day.

MISSION

At Canton Middle School, our mission is to empower students to think critically, speak confidently, and lead collaboratively. 

We build a community that champions equity, cultivates independence, and develops tenacious learners through intentional, standards-based instruction that incorporates academic vocabulary, structured conversations, and student-centered learning. At Canton Middle School, we believe the race for excellence has no finish line.

Our journey begins with PRIDE and leads to excellence
