Lafayette Parish School Superintendent Donald Aguillard has announced he has appointed Linda Nance as the principal for Acadian Middle School.

Aguillard has also chosen Virginia Rabalais to be the Acting Adult Education Academic Specialist.

Nance has plenty of experience, as she has been a teacher and coach for more than 20 years.  She has also served as an Assistant Principal for 10 years and as Principal for eight.
