Meet Mr. McCanless
Hello! My name is Josh McCanless and I have the honor of serving as your child’s assistant principal this year at CMS. I did my undergraduate work at Rhodes College in Memphis Tennessee where I received my B.S. degree in Biology. After that I pursued a Ph.D. in genetics at Emory University where I realized that I wanted to be in the teaching profession. I taught science at the high school level for 19 years. During that time I obtained my Masters degree in Education from West Georgia and my Education Specialist degree from Berry College. After receiving my Ed.S. degree I became an assistant principal at CMS. This will be my third year in administration. I have been happily married to my wife Lisa for 22 years and we have two children Michael (16) and Matthew (9) who are students in Calhoun City Schools. I enjoy researching and discovering civil war history in the local area. I thank you for the opportunity to help guide your children through their middle school experience and look forward to meeting and talking with you in the upcoming school year.
Job Responsibilities
As an assistant principal at CMS my primary job responsibilities relate to discipline, attendance and facilities management. At CMS we share many responsibilities but any questions you have in these areas would best be addressed to myself. I look forward to a great year with your children and any way I can help them or you at CMS please don’t hesitate to contact me.
