Staggs began his teaching career in 1950 in San Benito, Texas, at which he established a pilot English as a Second Language program. He returned to Mirando City in 1951 to teach  multiple subjects and as a basketball and football coach. In 1953, Frank moved his family to Laredo, where he joined the faculty at the then-newly-opened Lamar Junior High as a Speech and History teacher. He was promoted to assistant principal in 1956. Four years later, he was named the first principal of the new Milton Elementary School. In 1964, he became the principal of Lamar Junior High School, a position that he held until 1972. In 1966, he spearheaded "Special Opportunity" classes, the first program designed to help overage elementary students to advance to high school in a single year. The program was renamed Coordinated Vocational Academic Education and received statewide recognition for preventing more than eight hundred students from dropping out of high school. In 1972, he was named director of Secondary Education for the Laredo Independent School Board, a post from which he retired in 1980. In 1998, Staggs was elected to the Laredo ISD School Board, on which he served until 2002. In June, 2013, the new library at the rebuilt Lamar Middle School was named in his honor.<ref name=obit/>

He hosted the "Ranger Bob Show." for sixteen years, he was a member of the Southwest Basketball Association, in which capacity he referred basketball for more than fifteen years. He sold life and health insurance part-time until his retirement from the LISD, after which he took on the insurance business full-time with partner Ed Leonard. For years, he ran the De La Garza Family Ranch, as well as his own Staggs family ranching interests.<ref name=obit/>
