A Message From the Principal

As students enter the middle school, there is always a certain degree of anxiety that is experienced. They are no longer in elementary school, and they are not yet in high school. They are "in the middle." In 1989, the Carnegie Foundation had the foresight to realize that students from the age of eleven to fourteen required a unique educational program. The traditional junior high school model did not meet the individual needs of young adolescents in this age group. These young people have their own vision of the world around them that does not reflect the vision of an elementary or a high school student. It is our belief that a middle level educational program, in which students are placed on academic teams, is better suited to meet the needs of this student population. Middle level students benefit most from programs which help them explore their talents and interests, as well as develop new skills and aptitudes in a non-competitive experience. While some competition may be healthy as a motivational force, the point of diminishing returns is quickly met when frustration and limitation are the results.

Learning is not isolated from everyday life. Our program provides opportunities for students to apply learning to real-life situations. Young adolescents inherently have a need to explore, to discover self, and to discover and develop talents and interests. We believe that our program provides opportunities for this to happen.

We invite members of the Lincoln community to visit our school and look at our program. There is an open invitation to community members to become part of our School Improvement Team. The school improvement process is ongoing. The ultimate goal of the School Improvement Team is to improve student achievement and it is our belief that this goal is a community responsibility.

 

A Message From the Assistant Principal

My name is Chris Cobain and I am proud to be the newest member of the administrative team here at Lincoln Middle School.

I received my Bachelors Degree in Finance from Bryant University, Class of ‘92.  After spending six years in the investment industry I returned to school and earned my Master's Degree in Teaching/Business from Johnson and Wales in 1998.  Upon completion a MAT with a concentration in Business, I have spent the last nine years at Exeter-West Greenwich High School as teacher of business (6 years) and Vice Principal (3 years) after receiving a certificate in administration from the Principal’s Residency Network. 

I have been a resident of Lincoln since 1995.  I am married to Darlene and we have two children together, a daughter Taylor and a son Travis. My hobbies are spending time with my family, playing golf and coaching basketball at Exeter-West Greenwich High School.

Lincoln Middle School offers many academic, athletic, and co-curricular activities. I urge students to avail themselves of the many opportunities our school offers.  We welcome the support and input of parents as we work together to provide each student with the best possible education.  We must work hard to understand the intellectual and social characteristics of the early adolescents so that we can provide the foundation for a quality learning experience at Lincoln Middle School.  Along with the staff of Lincoln Middle School, I pledge to work diligently to help our children as they make decisions and choices that will affect their personal and academic future. We have a strong academic core in this community and we will continue to strive to reach our goal of becoming a “Spot Light School,” one that is constantly working toward increasing student performances. I will work to establish strong relationships with teachers, students and parents which will result in an environment that will allow students to prosper. I look forward to helping Lincoln Public schools continue to improve its’ teaching and learning so that all students can achieve academic and social success.
