We are excited to announce the appointment of our new administrative team members who will join us in leading the LSU Laboratory School into a bright and successful future. Their diverse experiences and dedication to education promise to bring fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to our school.
Stacy Bradford, Middle School Principal
I am Stacy Bradford, a Middle School Principal with over 22 years of educational experience. Throughout my career, I have served as an executive director, principal, assistant principal, and teacher. Most recently, I was a ninth-grade success coach for the Center for High School Success. I earned my Master of Administration/Supervision and Bachelor of Special Education Mild/Moderate from Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, LA. While at Southern, I was a member of the track and field team, where I won two SWAC championships.
In 2016, I was honored as St. John the Baptist Parish’s Principal of the Year after leading my school to top gains status following a fire that destroyed the school, forcing us to relocate. The way the St. John community pulled together was a true testament to working as one.
I reside with my wife Erin and our three children: Chloe, who is a junior at Xavier University of Louisiana, Jacob, a high school junior, and Blaine, a high school sophom*ore.
“I am so honored to be a part of this prestigious academic powerhouse, but most importantly, excited to be a Cub!”
Dr. Ellen Daugherty, Elementary Assistant Principal
My name is Ellen Daugherty. I am from New Orleans but have been living in Baton Rouge ever since I graduated from LSU and got married. I have been married to Scott for 36 years, and we have 3 children: Sean, 32 (class of 2010), Shelby, 30, and Seth, 26 (class of 2016). We also have 2 grandchildren: Cecilia (4) and Charlotte (3).
I decided I wanted to be a teacher in fourth grade, and I have never regretted that decision. I love my job! I have been teaching for 37.5 years. I have been at the Lab School for the past 20 years, more than half of my career. Over those 20 years I have taught 1st and 4th grade. I have also served as the Literacy Specialist, Curriculum Coordinator and Instructional Coach. For the past 4 years I served as the K-2 Interventionist. Moving forward, I look forward to serving our school as the Elementary Assistant Principal!

I have worked in Development at Louisiana State University for nearly a decade.
