From Josephinum student to Principal

Candice L. Reynolds is a transformative educational leader, student advocate, and proud alumna of Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart, Class of 2007. Now serving as Principal of her alma mater, she brings her journey full circle with a deep personal commitment to the mission of empowering young women through faith, academic excellence, and leadership.

Her connection to Josephinum is more than professional. It is personal. Having experienced the school as a student herself, Ms. Reynolds understands the transformative power of a Josephinum education from both sides of the classroom — as a young woman who once walked these halls and now as the leader entrusted with helping shape the experience for the next generation.

An advocate before she was a Principal.

Ms. Reynolds most recently served as Director of Student Services at Josephinum Academy, where she successfully led the Counseling Department and strengthened systems of support for students across academic and behavioral domains.

She coordinated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) initiatives, ensured compliance with IEP and 504 processes, and partnered with faculty and families to implement targeted interventions that improved student outcomes.

Her leadership extended to professional development, crisis management, and the design of college- and career-readiness programming, including the Senior Colloquium.

Supporting students. Building systems. Creating opportunity.

With a career rooted in advocacy and student-centered practice, Ms. Reynolds has extensive experience working with at-risk youth, developing intervention strategies, and reducing dropout rates through intentional engagement and support systems.

Her background includes roles as a Site Intervention Coordinator, School Counseling Intern, and Student Advocate, where she built strong partnerships with school leaders, families, and community organizations to ensure student success.
