Ms. Balaskovits
physical education teacher
“I plan to contribute a strong foundation built on my experiences at other districts and at [Lyndhurst Middle School]. My goal is to create a positive and motivating environment that encourages students to stay active and develop lifelong healthy habits.”
Mr. Garrison
English teacher
“I intend to promote good vibes and positivity at LHS. Life can be challenging at times, and I feel that a mixture of humor, mindfulness and a positive attitude can go a long way in sustaining an atmosphere where students and faculty can express themselves freely.”
Ms. Gomes
Child Study Team
“My main priority will always be my students. I hope to foster positive relationships by promoting their mental health and well-being [and] by ensuring that they have the support they need to thrive academically and socially…. My ultimate goal is to empower students to navigate their challenges and reach their full potential.”
Ms. Ringen
incoming vice principal
“I am a student-first type of leader. [Retiring vice principal] Mr. Venezia was a mentor to me when I was a teacher and a coach here, so… if he wants me to carry [his traditions] on, I’ll certainly do that…. I’m looking forward to getting back to Golden Bear territory and having fun.”
