The preschool entrance to the facility is on the West side of the building under the awning.
I graduated from West Monroe High School in 1985 and came back home to DeRidder in 1997. I married Jimmy Maricle in 1990, and we have two daughters and two grandchildren (soon to be three!).
I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from Northeast Louisiana University, and my Masters Degree at McNeese State University in Leadership and Supervision.
I served as Principal at K.R. Hanchey Elementary in DeRidder and as a Supervisor for the Beauregard Parish School Board. I retired in 2017, and now I am blessed to serve as Director for the PK program here at First Baptist. My top priority is loving our kids and our community here at FBC. My prayer is to continue the legacy from the directors that have come before me, and to create a physically and emotionally safe educational environment where learning and care can flourish for children, staff, and families.
