Hello,

Welcome to the Canon-McMillan School District and our website!

We have much to celebrate in Canon-McMillan! The first Blue Ribbon School in the history of the school district (and the county!) is an accomplishment of which we are very proud. Not only does First Street Elementary School deserve such an honor, it is representative of the level of excellence that is the foundation of all of our elementary programming! In fact, our students will experience rigorous, relevant and highly comprehensive curricular offerings throughout all of their elementary, middle and high school years, which will enable them to be well-prepared for future success. Our academic program is augmented by a broad array of co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities in the arts, athletics and personal enrichment.

Our students are in good hands as our dedicated staff has a strong commitment to student achievement and excellence!

This website is designed to be of service to you, the user. If you find a certain aspect particularly helpful please let us know. If you have suggestions for improvement, please let us know that as well. To email us, go to the "Suggestion Box" on our website homepage. Working together, I know that this school year will be a great success for our students, our staff and our entire school community.


Sincerely,


Helen K. McCracken, Ed.D.
