First-grade teacher Lindsey Rajan has been appointed the new assistant principal of the Jacobs Elementary School. Rajan, who has taught in Hull since 2016, begins her new duties on July 1.

“I want to congratulate Lindsey Rajan on her appointment to her new role,” Superintendent Judith Kuehn said. “I am confident that she brings the necessary skills, background, and passion to excel in this position as an instructional leader, and will play a key role in the pre-K to 7 Jacobs School reconfiguration.”

Rajan, of Quincy, holds a master’s degree in education from American International College, bachelor’s degrees in education and early education from Eastern Nazarene College, and a certificate of study in administration from Curry College.

“I am excited and thankful for the opportunity to continue serving the Jacobs Elementary School community in this new capacity,” Rajan said.

Currently co-chair of the Jacobs Literacy Review Committee, Rajan previously was a kindergarten teacher in Holbrook, a first-grade teacher in Weymouth, and served as a tutor at the Cohasset Learning Studio.

“Lindsey’s knowledge of curriculum and instruction at the early childhood level makes her a perfect fit for an administrative role,” said Principal Kyle Shaw, whose promotion created the opening. “I have a tremendous amount of confidence in Lindsey and look forward to working with her in her new position.”
