At Canton High School, we encourage all learners to develop to their fullest potential, engage in lifelong learning, and be responsible members of society. The Canton Excellence program is a rigorous educational, service, and social experience that provides students with an opportunity to excel and show exceptional growth for the post-secondary world. The Canton Excellence categories listed here are what we believe all students in District 66 can attain and describe the ideal high school graduate. Students will need to meet the criteria defined in this document to be distinguished as a District 66 Canton Excellence Graduate.”

Participation in the Canton Excellence Program will foster a positive, well-rounded high school experience and promote citizenship in the school and local community. It will also enable students to create stronger college, workforce, and scholarship applications.
