Administration
My name is Jessica Nicholson and I am proud to be your Assistant Principal! I was born and raised right here in Pineville. I returned “home” after living in Ruston for 4 years while attending Louisiana Tech University. My husband and I have 1 daughter, Payton, and 1 dog, Delta.
I taught 2nd and 3rd grade during my time in the classroom. I left the classroom in 2021 to gain leadership experience as a district curriculum specialist. Lessie Moore already feels like home to me. I look forward to working with our faculty, staff, and community members to help our students achieve their highest goals.
My name is Laura Wheeler, and I am proud to be the Lead Teacher this year at Lessie Moore. I was born and raised in Catahoula parish, and I attended ULM and graduated in 2009 with my undergraduate degree. I attended LC and graduated in 2014 with my Masters Degree. Throughout my last 15 years of teaching, I have taught grades 3-10 ELA and Social Studies. This is my first year as Lead Teacher, and I’m excited for this new journey ahead.
I am the proud wife of a fellow Rapides Parish Teacher. Jason and I are the proud parents of two rambunctious little boys, Gideon and Lincoln. I am also the human mom to three dogs and two cats! My house is always busy! My goal as Lead teacher is to help grow our teachers and grow our students to achieve their goals for the school year.
Mrs. Brady has welcomed families to Lessie Moore for almost 30 years. She is always willing to help people and show extra kindness. We are so lucky to have Mrs. Shelia!
