Welcome from our Principal
 

Candice Hardin

Dear Pineywoods Community Academy Family,

Welcome to Pineywoods Community Academy High School! It is truly an honor to serve as principal of a school and community that I care deeply about. This is my second year as principal, and I am grateful to continue building on the relationships and traditions that make our school such a special place. I have had the privilege of being part of the Pineywoods family for the past eight years, and during that time I have witnessed firsthand the dedication of our students, staff, and families.

At Pineywoods Community Academy High School, we are committed to creating an environment where every student is challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Our Early College High School (ECHS) model provides students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school and develop the independence, confidence, and skills they will need for success beyond graduation. Through our P-TECH Health Careers pathway, students can also explore careers in the healthcare field while gaining valuable academic and industry knowledge that prepares them for the workforce or further study.

We are proud to offer OnRamps courses, which give students the opportunity to engage in rigorous, college-level coursework while still receiving the support they need to succeed. In addition to strong academics, our extracurricular activities provide students opportunities to develop leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and perseverance—skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.

I believe strong schools are built on strong partnerships, and I am thankful for the continued support of our families and community. Together, we will continue to create meaningful opportunities for our students and celebrate their achievements along the way.

Thank you for being part of the Pineywoods Community Academy family. I look forward to another great year of learning, growth, and success for our students.

Warm regards,
Candice Hardin
Principal, Pineywoods Community Academy High School
