Lindenwold Middle School

My name is Alba Lugo, and I am very proud to be the principal of Lindenwold Middle School.  I am originally from Puerto Rico via Spain and Long Island.  I began my career as a higher education administrator coordinating and implementing programs for students of color in the Engineering, Business and Public Policy fields.  For eleven years, I taught Spanish to middle and high school students as well as ESL to adults.  In 2014, I joined the New Brunswick Public Schools as one of their elementary school principals and, in 2016, became a high school vice principal.

My educational journey has taken many twists and turns.  By the time I graduated from high school, I had attended a total of seven schools in Spain, Puerto Rico, and Long Island.  I received my Bachelors Degree in Economics and a Master's Degree in Higher Education Administration from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.  In the spring of 2022, I completed my doctorate from Rider University in Educational Leadership.  

Our team looks forward to working together with our families and students to create a safe and exciting learning environment for all.

My name is Jacquelyn Johnson-Arline.  I am a proud product of Philadelphia public schools, where I attended and graduated from The Philadelphia High School for Girls.  I began my career in education at Winslow School #2 as a 1st grade teacher in 1999.  In 2002, I began my career in Lindenwold at School #4 as a 2nd grade teacher and then a 4th grade teacher. In 2006, I became a literacy coach at LMS before transitioning into administration as the Supervisor of Basic Skills and Instruction at School #5 in 2008. I remained in that position until I transferred to LMS in the same capacity in 2016. 

I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Temple University, and I earned my Master of Arts Degree in Administration and Supervision from the University of Phoenix. 

I have been married to my loving husband Brian for 20 years and we have two children, Myles and Symone. Myles recently graduated from Rutgers University in Camden with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Management Information Systems. Symone is a busy senior high school student who plays volleyball and runs track.  

I am very excited to be part of a great team at LMS, and I look forward to working with you and your children to keep Lindenwold Middle a welcoming, safe, and great learning environment.

My name is Ryan Strothers and I began my career in education in 2006 in Pennsauken, New Jersey. In 2016, my educational journey drew me here to Lindenwold Middle School where I taught 5th grade ELA and Social Studies before transitioning over to 5th Grade Math and Science where I remained until June 2023. I am very excited that beginning in July 2023, I will continue to serve the amazing students, families and staff of Lindenwold Middle School as the Vice Principal of 7th and 8th Grade and LMS Climate and Culture.  

I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education, a Masters Degree in Secondary Education, and a second Masters Degree in Educational Administration from Grand Canyon University.  

In my spare time, I am a big roller coaster fan, I enjoy cooking, and I enjoy spending time with my amazing family and friends. Lindenwold Middle School is an awesome place full of a dedicated and nurturing staff and some of the best and brightest students who are destined to change this world for the better. I look forward to working alongside you to ensure that our students continue to reach their goals.
