While employed by Magnolia Public Schools, Candy began as a classroom teacher and aggressively progressed to the administrative level. She was an elementary classroom teacher and an elementary school guidance counselor. She then became a high school guidance counselor prior to spending the final seven years in education in the superintendent’s office as the district testing coordinator and public relations coordinator. As testing coordinator, she analyzed and disaggregated testing data for 2,500 students and assisted over 200 teachers in using the data to improve their instruction. As public relations coordinator, Candy disseminated the news of the school district to educators, parents, and the community. Both of these jobs were new to the district, and she was promoted and challenged to create the roles and fulfill the responsibilities.
In her twenties, Candy served as the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference and Southern Arkansas University’s first and only female Sports Information Director. During this career, she was editor and publisher of a 120-page All-Sports Magazine, for which she was awarded first place in the NAIA National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for an outstanding publication. Candy obtained her Associate degree, Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, additional certifications and securities, and insurance licenses while working full-time.
