The North Canton City School District embraces its commitment that all students realize the importance of education and work to achieve their goal of being "prepared for tomorrow." The values inherent in such an organization are respect, grit, relationships and integrity. Reflecting on the plan and goals set by the district, the district leadership emphasizes that a mission statement and a vision are of little value if they are not practiced. Superintendent Jeff Wendorf explains, “We must take action to see our goals achieved. Putting words on paper is easy, but the hard work begins now to take steps to make North Canton City Schools a benchmark organization.”

Our strategic plan grows out of a series of opportunities for the students, staff, teachers and community to express their thoughts about the school district. Through listening to their responses and compiling the results, the team is able to build the strategic plan. North Canton City Schools will work every day to fulfill the commitment expressed in the strategic mission.
