Kristen Vogel, Superintendent of Lynnfield Public Schools

This year marks the beginning of my 33rd year in education, both private independent boarding school, and public schools. During that time, I spent 16 years in the classroom as a history/social studies teacher and 17 years in building and district administration. As an educator, no matter my role, my compass has always been students first. This has provided direction for all my actions and decisions. Relationships and an aligned and challenging curriculum are central to the success of our students.  In Lynnfield we strive to create a school community where students belong, connect and grow so that every child can get to their starting line. This vision is reflected in our core values and informs our priorities around programming, curriculum, and professional development in the district.
