Assistant Principal Tyshawn Russell

Mr. Tyshawn Russell

To The Academy at Lincoln Community

 I am excited and honored to introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal at The Academy at Lincoln! It's a true privilege to join such a vibrant and dedicated school community, and I look forward to the journey ahead.

A little about me, I’m a proud husband and father of five incredible children who inspire me every day. My path to education has been anything but traditional. After high school, I joined the military, where I gained valuable experience in leadership, discipline, and teamwork. Those years solidified my belief in leading by example and ignited a passion for mentorship that naturally grew into a career in education. Following my military service, I completed my bachelor’s degree at Guilford College and my master’s at Liberty University.

Since then, I’ve been fortunate to hold various leadership roles, including Dean of Students, and most recently, I served as Assistant Principal at Ferndale Middle School for three years, where I gained valuable experience. 

I look forward to getting to know each of you, students, staff, and families, and working together to make every school year the best.
