Kristen Haynes
I have been an Assistant Principal in Argyle ISD for the past 5 years and am SO excited to be the Principal at South Elementary!
I have been in Argyle ISD my entire career. I started at Hilltop Elementary in 2006 teaching third grade. In 2011, I changed positions to serve as an ESL teacher. In 2016, I became the ESL District Coordinator. In 2018, I was lucky enough to be promoted to Assistant Principal, as we needed three administrators for our growing population. Hilltop was my home for 13 years. In 2019, I transferred to Argyle Intermediate. I was there for three years. In 2022, I had the honor of helping Dr. Jordan prepare and open Argyle South Elementary.
I have two boys, ages 10 and 13. My husband also works in education as a teacher and coach in Keller ISD. We have an adorable pomsky named Angel. Our family loves to travel.
Argyle is a wonderful place to be. I have been part of this school family for 17 years and counting!
Please feel free to contact me anytime. Email is the best way to get in touch with me.
I hope to meet each South family at one of our events this year.

I am thrilled at the opportunity to join the exceptional team of leaders at Argyle South as an assistant principal! Being in Argyle and having the chance to foster relationships with the staff, students, and families fills me with excitement.
My journey as an educator began in Lewisville ISD as a student teacher, a substitute, and then a 3rd-grade teacher before transitioning to a role as a special education resource and inclusion behavior teacher. In 2020, I moved to Northwest ISD, where I continued to teach 3rd and 4th grade. In 2022, I took on the position of Behavior Intervention Specialist within the district.
My philosophy revolves around nurturing the growth of students and colleagues, helping them reach their highest potential, and embodying the qualities of a supportive leader.
I am genuinely excited about acquainting myself with everyone at Argyle South, and I encourage you to reach out to me at any time. I look forward to connecting with each of you!
