Dr. Anderson grew up in Barrington, Rhode Island and has been the principal of Barrington Middle School for the last 11 years. He has dedicated himself to making BMS a place where kids are respected, respectful, and ready to learn. He focuses on the whole student and works to make each and every one of his students be their "Best Self." He is respected by his colleagues for being easily approachable and for always listening to their concerns. He takes a team approach in running BMS, which has been a Blue Ribbon school for many years.
