Rachael Sanders named instruction supervisor for St. Mary schools

Former Patterson High Principal Rachael Sanders has been named supervisor of high schools and vocational programming for St. Mary Parish public schools, Superintendent Teresa Bagwell said Friday in a news release.

Sanders will succeed Dr. Buffy Fegenbush, who recently accepted a position in another school district.

Sanders is the current supervisor of the St. Mary Alternative Program.

During her tenure with St. Mary Parish Schools, Sanders began as an English teacher at Patterson High School before moving into administration, initially serving as an assistant principal at Morgan City High School.

"Her vast knowledge of all aspects of the high school program were pivotal in the vetting process and will be of significant importance as she supports area high schools," Bagwell said.

As with all new appointments, a vacancy now exists at the St. Mary Alternative Program that will be the subject of applications in the coming weeks, Bagwell said.
