Campus Administration
Principal

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.

Chandler Putman
Hi South families!
My name is Chandler Putman and I am so excited to join the Argyle South family as your new Assistant Principal for the 2025-2026 school year. I have spent the past six years in Carroll ISD teaching 2nd and 3rd grade. Before that, I taught 6th grade in Nacogdoches ISD. My experiences in the classroom have given me a deep love for helping students grow both academically and personally. I cannot wait to bring that same passion into my new role!
My husband and I are proud parents to our daughter, Carter Rose, and we have two very playful goldendoodles, Molly and Luka! We are also big Dallas Mavericks fans, so when we are not chasing our toddler or pups around, you can usually find us cheering on the Mavs during basketball season.
I truly cannot wait to meet all of you and begin this exciting new journey. Argyle South already feels like home, and I am looking forward to an amazing school year filled with learning, laughter, and connection!
