ICYMI: BIG NEWS! Richardson Middle School Named One of New England's Top Middle Schools!

We are incredibly proud to announce that Justus C. Richardson Middle School has been named a 2026–2027 Spotlight School by the New England League of Middle Schools (NELMS) — one of just 25 schools across New England to earn this prestigious recognition!

Following a comprehensive evaluation of curriculum, instruction, school climate, and leadership, Richardson earned an outstanding 52.5 out of 54 points!

This recognition celebrates what makes Richardson Middle School so special: dedicated educators, strong leadership, a supportive school community, and a commitment to helping every student thrive academically and personally.

"We are deeply honored to be named a NELMS Spotlight School. This recognition is a reflection of the hard work, passion, and dedication of our entire school community—our exceptional teachers, supportive families, and, most importantly, our wonderful students." — Principal Maria McGuinness

Congratulations to Principal McGuinness, our incredible teachers and staff, students, and families! This achievement is a testament to the outstanding work happening every day at Richardson Middle School and throughout The Dracut Public Schools.

This is the Dracut Difference!

Follow-Up: Misleading Social Media Posts - As a follow-up on my message from earlier today regarding incorrect social media posts by individuals outside of Dracut, please see this joint statement from Chief Bartlett and me: https://aptg.co/ykbgr1

FALSE CLAIM OF DANGEROUS SITUATION: There are reports being posted on social media indicating that there is an active shooter at Dracut High School. THIS IS FALSE. There are no concerns in any of our schools. The DPD is conducting training exercises today away from the schools. Individuals outside Dracut overheard radio traffic via a police scanner and mistook the training messages for an event at DHS. Again, there is nothing occuring at any of our schools today aside from a normal day's activities. I will be following up with a joint press release with Chief Bartlett shortly.
