Counselor Candace Barnes

  • I am so excited to be a part of the great community of Sunfield Elementary. I began my teaching career in 2010 in Hays CISD and am thrilled to return back home to the Kyle/Buda area. My goal as the school counselor is to advocate for an environment that supports success for all students in order to insure the students have a positive and rewarding experience at school. I look forward to beginning this journey as your school counselor at Sunfield for the 2022-2023 school year. I can’t wait to get to know all of the students, staff and thriving Sunfield Community. Go Sunfield Stallions!!
