The Little Red School House 2009 Winners
Canton School District



The Little Red School House Award is presented to a school district that is selected for implementing the most significant, innovative and successful education program or project.


The C- HAWK Advantage is a K-12 program that focuses on the timeless principles of Character, Honor, Achievement, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Service.  By focusing on these six principles, students are provided with a solid foundation for success.  “Learning to Soar” is the elementary level of the program.  Students are nominated by teachers and recognized each month on the “C- HAWK Advantage” bulletin board and are given a t-shirt that was designed by the elementary student council.  “Earning Your Wings” is the middle school and high school level of the program.  Students participating in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities are invited to a weekly C- HAWK Talk during Advisory time.   Special guest speakers are invited to visit with students about the principles of the C- HAWK Advantage.   

STARS or Students Taking A Right Stand is another important aspect of the C- HAWK Advantage.  This year 10 students were recognized for their commitment to making good choices.  Because the STARS program is sponsored by Canton Drug and Alcohol Coalition, all participants must also commit to staying drug and alcohol free during their high school career.  Six seniors are recognized each year at graduation and are presented with a “Soaring C-Hawk” figurine and framed certificate.  This is fast becoming a highlight of the graduation ceremony.  Canton school district is helping build a foundation that will help students achieve success throughout their lifetime.
