Our campus was named for Mr. E. B. Cannan, former music director at Willis High School. Our students interviewed and filmed Mrs. Jeffers as she told the story of when Mr. Robert P. Brabham called Mr. Cannan on the phone and told him a new elementary school in Willis ISD was going to be named after him. Mr. Cannan's daughter said her dad was so astonished and proud! He was also a very humorous gentleman and said, jokingly, "at least they are not naming an outhouse after me!" Mrs. Jeffers told many stories of her father's humor, kindness, and love of the students in Willis ISD and his community. We thoroughly enjoyed the student interview, to be replayed using Google videos in the classrooms.
