Dear CPE Families,
I hope you're enjoying a fun and restful summer! I’m excited to begin my second year as principal of Cecil Picard Elementary and honored to continue serving this amazing community.
My name is Jessica Broussard, and I live in Maurice with my husband, Ethan, and our three children—Emily (9), Charlie (8), and Waylon (4)—who will be joining me again on campus as proud CPE students. ♥️
With 15 years in education and a passion for student success, I’m committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for all learners. This year, we’ll focus on strong partnerships, meaningful growth, and celebrating every step forward—together.
Thank you for trusting us with your children. I look forward to a wonderful school year filled with connection, learning, and joy!
Warmly,
Jessica Broussard

Dear CPE Families,
I’m Mary Hernandez, your Assistant Principal, and I’m excited to begin another school year with you. My husband, Jonathan, and I live in Maurice with our three sons—William (9), Henry (7), and James (2). I’m especially thrilled that William and Henry will be joining me on campus for another year as Jr. Patriots!
It is with great enthusiasm that I continue serving our school community. Our administrative team is committed to working together to create a safe, welcoming, and successful learning environment for all students. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead filled with learning, growth, and partnership.
Warmly,
Mary Hernandez

Dear CPE Families,
My name is Autumn Suire and I was born and raised here in Maurice, where I attended Cecil Picard as a child. I’m truly grateful to be given the opportunity to join CPE’s admin team this year as the Administrative Services Assistant.
It has been a true blessing to spend 17 of my 23 years in education at CPE. Throughout this time, I’ve had the privilege of teaching Kindergarten and PreK and building relationships with so many amazing Jr. Patriots.
My goal is to be a light in education by making a meaningful difference in the lives of children - inspiring, supporting, and empowering them to reach their fullest potential. I strive to lead with compassion, to spark curiosity and confidence in each child, and to help them see the light within themselves as they grow into kind, capable, and confident individuals.
"Be the Light That Lifts Others"
Parking: The front, side, and back parking lots will be available. Pending the weather, we may also open the car line for extra parking. If the car line is open, please only park to the left and right of the gravel car line; do not create additional rows, and do not block the gravel road. Thank you for helping us with this matter.
Car tags: If your child is a car rider for the 2025-2026 school year, please complete the following form if you are in need of a car tag, need to adjust your current tag, or need a replacement tag. Tags made ahead of time will be given to homeroom teachers to give to parents at meet & greet. If you have your sign from last year, it will still work.
