Mr. Richard Burd

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! My name is Richard Burd and I am extremely excited to be part of the Lincoln Middle School team. I am honored to be at a school that looks beyond the classroom and encourages a holistic approach to education. I look forward to working with Mrs. Devor to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all the LMS students, staff, and families.

This will be my second year as the Assistant Principal at Lincoln Middle School. Prior to coming to Hawthorne, I spent ten years working as a middle school teacher in Dumont. Throughout my time as an administrator and a teacher I have learned how uniquely important the middle school years are to the successful development of students. I will use my knowledge, experience, and skills to provide the LMS students with the highest quality academic, social, emotional, and behavioral support.

I am humbled to be part of the LMS family and eager to make this school year a memorable success for all LMS students, families, and community members. Thank you for this opportunity and I look forward to working together.
