Texas resident Candra Rogers spoke out for the first time as she recovers from an injury that caused permanent damage in one of her eyes.
An assistant principal was left blind in one eye, and may lose it entirely , after an “aggressive” middle school student hurled a clothes hanger at her face.
Candra Rogers was responding to a report of students fighting in a classroom at Collins Intermediate School in Corsicana on Aug. 15 when the child threw several chairs at Rogers, which she dodged, and then a hanger, which pierced the principal’s eye, WFAA reported.
“The hanger hit me in my right eye and knocked it out of the socket,” Rogers told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday in her first remarks back at the school.
“I grabbed my face while blood was pouring out of my head and stumbled out of the classroom door,” the educator recalled.
The injury was so severe that paramedics who responded to the school decided Rogers needed to be airlifted to a hospital.
