St. Mary Parish Public Schools is pleased to announce the appointment of Mrs. Christina Harrison as Federal Program Liaison.
Mrs. Harrison brings a wealth of experience and qualifications to the position. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education (Grades 1–8) and Mild/Moderate Special Education (Grades 1–12), earned in 2001. She later obtained a Master’s in Educational Leadership in 2016 and holds additional certifications as an Intervention Content Leader, PreK–3 educator, and English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor.
Mrs. Harrison began her teaching career at Bayou Vista Elementary in 2001. Over the years, she has served in multiple instructional and leadership roles, including teacher, interventionist, curriculum facilitator, Title III Specialist, and most recently, Elementary Instructional Specialist. Her extensive experience in federal programming, particularly in PreK and ESL education, will serve as a tremendous asset in her new role.
“My work managing Title III and Immigrant budgets, preparing compliance reports, and supporting Title I schools has provided me with valuable insight into federal programs and spending,” said Mrs. Harrison. “More importantly, I have witnessed how these funds can directly enhance instructional quality when strategically aligned to student needs.”
Congratulations, Mrs. Harrison!

Mr. Regard is a proud graduate of the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas, and a veteran of the U.S. Military.

He has served as a social studies and career and technical education teacher in Iberia Parish where he also held leadership roles as Assistant Principal at Westgate High School and Supervisor of Transportation. Most recently, he served as Director of Operations for Food Services in Lafayette Parish.
Mr. Regard is excited to tackle the challenges of his new role. His experience managing large systems while supporting employees, practices, and services has been one of his greatest strengths. He stated, “My goal is to remain focused on fostering collaboration, effective communication, and implementing innovative solutions to challenges that arise.”

SUN Bucks provides a one-time $120 benefit to help families buy groceries for each eligible school-aged child during summer break.
Most children will be automatically enrolled if they received SNAP, FITAP, KCSP, or income-based Medicaid between July 2024 and August 2025, or if they attend a school offering free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch or Breakfast Program.
Children who attend Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools will need to apply once the application becomes available this spring. Benefits will be distributed in mid-May, loaded onto existing EBT cards, or mailed on new cards in plain envelopes. Families should ensure their mailing address is current, and keep their child’s EBT card for future use.
