The School Committee has voted unanimously to enter into negotiations to hire Dr. Frank Parry Graham as Lincoln’s next Superintendent of Schools.
Graham currently serves as the Assistant Superintendent of the Wayland Public Schools, which he joined in 2018 (read a Wayland Student Press Network profile of him here). Previously, he was Nashoba Regional High School Principal in Bolton for five years and principal of the Lufkin Road Middle School in Wake County, N.C. for four years. He also taught German at North Andover (Mass.) High School. Graham holds a doctorate in educational leadership from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a master of arts in teaching from Tufts University, and bachelor’s degree from Williams College
The PTO, LSF and MCC thanked everyone who assisted in the search:
“The Lincoln METCO Coordinating Committee, Lincoln PTO, and Lincoln School Foundation would like to thank all members of the LPS community who participated in the Superintendent search process. Notably, we are grateful for the countless hours our School Committee devoted to ensuring a thorough and transparent process that balanced many voices. We would also like to express our gratitude to Dr. Becky McFall for giving her successor big shoes to fill — and look forward to continued academic and social-emotional growth for our students and AIDE work together with our community under Dr. Parry Graham’s leadership.”
