Upper school marks Spiritual Emphasis Week

Special to The Canton News 

Canton Academy’s upper school recently celebrated its annual Spiritual Emphasis Week, welcoming local churches and pastors to campus to lead students in worship and reflection.

Each day, speakers focused on this year’s theme, “Run Through the Tape,” based on Hebrews 12:1-2. The passage encourages believers to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”

Throughout the week, students heard messages centered on faith, endurance and spiritual growth. Speakers challenged students to remain focused, throw off distractions and pursue their faith with determination.

School leaders expressed appreciation to the churches, pastors and volunteers who helped make the 2026 Spiritual Emphasis Week meaningful for students.
