Board promotes Bergeron, Fryou

Suzanne Bergeron and Niki Fryou have been appointed to new positions with the St. Mary Parish School Board.
Bergeron has been appointed human resources director, succeeding Peter Boudreaux.
Boudreaux was appointed assistant superintendent and soon after resigned to become principal for sixth through 12th grade students at Morgan City’s Central Catholic. Joseph Stadalis is the new assistant superintendent.
Bergeron had served as an instructional supervisor and was the former principal of Patterson Junior High School.
A longtime educator in St. Mary Parish, Bergeron has led the district’s instructional division for elementary and middle schools during a time of significant change, the school district said.
She also achieved a leadership certification from the National Institute of School Leaders and was selected as the district’s Middle School Principal of the Year in 2014 and 2016. Her extensive experience at various levels of leadership will be critical as she assumes the role of staffing schools and supporting district employees, the district said..
Fryou, former principal of Hattie Watts Elementary, currently serves as an instructional specialist for English language arts. She’ll succeeded Bergeron as instructional supervisor.
As a highly respected administrator and former Louisiana Principal of the Year, Fryou led Hattie Watts in earning several national and state awards including National Blue Ribbon School and Louisiana High Poverty-High Performing School, the district said.
The two appointments will take effect June 1 as the district’s staff begin to prepare for the opening of the 2019-20 school year.
