Principal's Message

Dear Big Macs,

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new and returning families to the 2024-2025 school year! I hope that you had a relaxing and enjoyable summer.

 

I am thrilled at the opportunity to continue to lead my alma mater as the principal of Canon-McMillan High School. I understand the importance of this role, and I will embrace all opportunities to work together with educators, students, and families. Working together, we can collectively ensure that every student is successful at Canon-McMillan High School. Therefore, our faculty & staff will follow the foundation of T.R.U.S.T., the district motto of “Everyday Counts" and the high school mantra of “Expect Success!”

What is T.R.U.S.T.?
T.R.U.S.T. is a cornerstone of success. This is an acronym that all stakeholders can embrace to
ensure success for our students.
T- Talk = Communication is key.
R- Remember = Remember what our role is and why we are here.
U- Unwavering = We must be unwavering in our pursuit of excellence as Big Macs.
S- Secure = We will have each other’s back & we all have the same goal in mind.
T- T.E.A.M. = Together Everyone Achieves More.

What does “Everyday Counts” mean?
This is our new district motto that emphasizes the importance of being present, communicative, engaged, respectful and ready to learn every single day to make the most of your educational experience. It is our goal to have student-centered classrooms and to allow
student voice in their educational experience. By focusing on the student as an individual, we hope that each student is provided with the necessary skills and resources to not only succeed in high school but also to leave high school with the ability to bring their post-secondary plan to fruition. It is our mission, daily, to meet the needs of our students and to provide them with the foundations for success in all facets of their lives.

Why should we “Expect Success”?
As students transition to CMHS, they come in with the expectation from CMMS to “Expect the Best”. Our team believes that it is important to build on that foundation to ensure that our students find success beyond the classroom with their postsecondary plan. Success can look
different for everyone but if we strive to do a little better and be a little better every day then our odds of success will grow every year. What I love about our foundation, our mindset and our motto is that it is a top-to-bottom expectation. We will utilize this for our administrative team, our staff, our students and our families.

Canon-McMillan High School values our family relationships and realizes that in order for the effective implementation of this initiative, we must work together. The high school years are a critical time for students and families alike. My administrative team and I are elated to work together with all stakeholders to make this school year a remarkable one. We look forward to building lasting relationships with each and every member of the Big Mac Community.

Respectfully,
Brittany L. Taylor & CMHS Administration
