My name is Candace Young and I’m proud to be the Teacher of the Year for Glenn Marlow Elementary 2018-19.   I graduated from Appalachian State University and earned my Master’s degree from Montreat College. I have taught every grade except for kindergarten in my 22 years of teaching.  Currently, I teach fourth grade which is my favorite! I couldn’t have earned this award without a great fourth grade team and all the wonderful staff that I am privileged to work with here at Glenn Marlow. Glenn Marlow is a special place not only for students, but for teachers too! I’m proud to be a Marlow Mustang! #marlowforlife

Away from school I have a sweet family of four.  I’m married to Jay Young who is a West Henderson football coach.  Go Falcons! I have two children: Lauren is a freshman at West Henderson and Cade is a fifth grader here at Glenn Marlow.  Last, but not least we have a 7 month old Golden Retriever puppy named Watson who gets a lot of attention and love at our house!  When I’m not teaching, you can catch me spending time with my family, reading or walking Watson!!
