Calvin Capps
Hello Polk Nation. My name is Calvin Capps and I have the distinct honor to serve as the 7th grade Assistant Principal. This will be my 10th year in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. My journey as an educator started in the Applied Academics class as a paraprofessional. With my drive to continue helping students I began my teaching career as a Positive Attitude for Success teacher. Knowing the struggle many students have in the classroom I became a Behavior Resource Specialist. Wanting to continue to help as many students as I could I became an Assistant Principal. My personal story of going from homeless to being the first ever in my family to receive a higher education degree helps me connect with my students. I received my Bachelor’s degree from University of North Texas and my Masters of Education in Educational Leadership with Principal Certification from University of Texas at Arlington. Equity for all is crucial for success, and I am happy to be at Polk to help all students be college ready, career ready, and future ready.
