She is known for identifying leadership potential and developing future administrators. Many of today's leaders in St Mary Parish credit her guidance, encouragement, and mentorship is instrumental to their professional growth. Dr Fagenbush is widely respected by generations of colleagues at every level.

The St Mary Parish School Board. the district staff,  and school teams, extend their gratitude to Superintendent Fegenbush for her years of service and wish her continued success and fulfillment in retirement.
