The North Canton City School District is located in central Stark County, Ohio. Seven buildings serve the student population of 4, 933 students. "Academics, arts, and athletics" is a phrase that is widely used in the school community and is clearly stated as a priority in the school district's mission statement: "The North Canton City School District, in partnership with the community, is committed to excellence in academics, arts and athletics. Our mission is to develop all students as life-long learners, by recognizing and valuing the promise and ability of every student, and by nurturing each individual to full potential." All the activities of the school district fall into one of the three A's, and excellent programs in each are the goal of this progressive school district.

A Message from the Principal
We see evidence every day that there are many paths to successful learning. Elmer S. Gish offers three different programmes and each of these programmes implement the Alberta Curriculum from a unique perspective. Three great programmes –
one great school!

Global Programme (K – 9)
The Global programme opens new doors for students by offering an exciting global perspective to learning. Students are supported in becoming inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people. They are active learners who strive toachieve a balance between exploration, knowledge and understanding. As well as understanding a thorough study of subjects, students are encouraged to see relationships amongst them and connect their school learning to theworld beyond the classroom.

Cogito Programme (K – 9)
Cogito is a programme of choice designed to support the student in working consistently to achieve a high level of academic excellence. Direct instruction and regular homework contribute to the development of a strong, broad base of knowledge in all subjects. An atmosphere of structure and sequenced learning is consistently fostered. The structured environment with clear expectations, emphasis on organizational skills, accuracy and precision are important facets of the programme. Student uniforms from K-6 contribute to an orderly atmosphere and sense of success.

Logos Programme (5 - 9)
The Logos Programme follows the Alberta Program of studies.
Teaching of knowledge, skills and attitudes is done within a
Christian context. A Christian viewpoint to issues and topics from
all curriculum areas is provided. Links are made between the
concepts being taught and the Bible teachings on that concept.

One Great School
Students in all programmes are encouraged to participate in
extra-curricular activities, helping to build a meaningful, well-rounded and vibrant school. This is the Gish experience. Opportunities are listed under Student Activities in this handbook. We believe in two-way communication and a partnership between home and school to enhance student success. This agenda/handbook is considered to be a source of useful information throughout the year. The agenda is a required organizational support to enhance student learning. We feel privileged to work with you and your child to promote growth and success.
