All About Mr. Lint

I am thrilled and honored to introduce myself as the principal of Occoquan Elementary School.

The 2026–27 academic year marks my 27th year in education, and I am proud to have dedicated my entire career to serving students and families in Prince William County Public Schools. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of serving in a variety of roles, including special education teacher, mathematics teacher, assistant principal, and principal. I have proudly served as a principal for the past 17 years, and each experience has strengthened my commitment to ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality education and the support needed to reach their full potential.

As principal of Occoquan Elementary School, I am deeply committed to academic excellence and creating a school culture where every student feels valued, challenged, and supported. I look forward to working alongside our outstanding staff to foster a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where student-centered learning, innovation, and high expectations are at the forefront of everything we do.

I strongly believe that successful schools are built upon strong partnerships among families, staff, and the community. I am passionate about family and community engagement and look forward to building meaningful relationships that positively impact student learning and well-being. Through open communication, collaboration, and trust, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

A little about me personally: Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially on the lacrosse field supporting their activities. I also enjoy staying connected to our local community by officiating high school sports throughout the area. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and building positive relationships both on and off the field.

My door is always open, and I encourage you to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas. I am excited to continue working alongside our students, staff, families, and community as we build upon the great traditions of Occoquan Elementary School and create new opportunities for success.

Together, we will make this an outstanding year for every student.
