HULL — Superintendent Judith Kuehn and Principal Michael Knybel are pleased to announce that Julie Burke has been chosen as the new assistant principal of Hull High School.

Burke most recently served in administrative roles in the Randolph Public Schools since 2018. Her positions included Dean of Climate and Culture, Advanced Placement coordinator, mentor program coordinator, ALICE school team leader and summer school coordinator for Randolph High School.

She was a teacher at Randolph High from 2013-2018, serving as a grade 9-12 English teacher as well as NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) Committee Chair, summer school teacher and more. She has additional teaching experience at Weymouth High School, Archbishop Williams High School in Braintree, the Fort Greene Prep Academy in Brooklyn, and as a teaching assistant at UMass Boston.

Burke’s love of literature began at a very early age, and has been something she has held onto ever since and something she has always shared with her students. She is also an advocate for not simply teaching students what to think, but how to think.

“As a result of my 16 years of experience in various academic settings, I am confident that I am both fully capable and prepared to make the transition to becoming an impactful Assistant Principal for the Hull High School community,” Burke said. “I look forward to working with the teachers and staff to best equip students with the tools they will need to become critical thinkers and curious, independent learners, and I am very excited to begin the new school year.”

Burke received her Bachelor of Arts in English from Saint Anselm College, her Master of Arts in English Literature from UMass Boston, and her Educational Leadership and Social Justice Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies (CAGS) from UMass Boston. She also recently completed the Accelerated Post Baccalaureate Program in Secondary Education from Bridgewater State University.

She was chosen after a rigorous selection process that included feedback from a wide variety of Hull Public Schools stakeholders.

“We are thrilled to be welcoming Julie to Hull High School for the upcoming school year,” Principal Knybel said. “As both she and I are new to the district, we are looking forward to meeting as many of the staff, students and families as we can to learn more about what makes Hull such a terrific place to live and learn. Julie’s unique experiences and lifelong passion for education make her an ideal choice for the role of HHS’ new assistant principal.”
