Mrs. Parra is originally from Southern California, and currently calls Fort Mill her home. She shares 4 beautiful children with her husband of 34 years. When she is not at school you can find her cheering on her youngest son either on a football field or a soccer field. She graduated from Winthrop University with a BS in Family & Consumer Science and a minor in Health. She started her teaching career at Rock Hill High School, then decided to give middle school a try at Banks Trial Middle School then found her home at Catawba Ridge High School. She currently teaches Food & Nutrition 1 & 2 and is looking forward to teaching Honors Wellness & Nutrition in the future. For 3 weeks in the summer you will find her in her classroom putting on the Copperheads Cooking Camp for local 1st-8th grade students. She loves any opportunity to teach her students about all things related to food! From their nutrients, how to read a label, laws governing our food as well as giving them lots of opportunities in the kitchen to create yummy dishes.
