As we begin the interview process for our next High School Principal, we want to hear from you.
In a small, tight-knit community like ours, leadership matters. The High School Principal doesn’t just shape academics — they help shape school culture, student experiences, staff support, and the future of our district.
Please fill out the survey at https://forms.gle/Tkcko8gjy3LLVo7z7
What qualities do you believe are most important in our next leader?
• Strong instructional leadership?
• Visible and engaged in the community?
• A relationship-builder with students and staff?
• Committed to excellence and high expectations?
Your voice matters in this process. We invite parents, students, staff, alumni, and community members to share their input as we work to select the right leader for Canton R-V.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure a strong future for our students.
