This is Candy’s second year to be the Assistant Principal at Hedgcoxe Elementary. She is currently beginning her 3rd year in that role and her 28th year in education with 24 of those years being employed by Plano ISD.  She began her teaching career in Lubbock, Texas and then taught 10 years at Huffman Elementary and 2 years at Rose Haggar Elementary in Plano.  During those years as a classroom teacher, she was a member of the Integrated Curriculum Team and helped develop the third grade district curriculum.  She then spent the next 10 years working in the Instructional Technology Department of Plano ISD.  Before becoming a teacher, she attended Texas Tech University and University of North Texas to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education.  In 2001 she obtained her Principal Certification from the University of Texas Arlington.   After spending time working with the Instructional Technology Department, she wanted to once again work more closely with children. “I wanted to be able to be directly involved in making a difference in their education. I’m so very fortunate to be at Hedgcoxe and working with such a dedicated staff and principal.” In addition to her Hedgcoxe family, she has a husband, Fred, 2 grown children and has been blessed with 4 beautiful grandchildren all of which live in Frisco.
