LEWISTON — A veteran educator has become the new director of Lewiston Adult Education and Auburn Adult & Community Education.
The Lewiston School Board on Aug. 16 approved hiring Jennifer Tiner to replace William Grant, who has served as director for the Lewiston and Auburn programs since 2016. Grant became the executive director of operations for Lewiston Public Schools earlier this summer.
Tiner is a Lewiston High School and Bates College graduate with a 23-year career in education. She worked as an English teacher, parenting instructor and teen parenting center coordinator at Lewiston High School, serving as assistant director for Lewiston Adult Education for the past eight years.
She has led job training programs at Lewiston Adult Education that included partnerships with local businesses. Students became certified in a variety of fields, including nursing assistants and construction workers. This fall, Lewiston Adult Education will offer classes in health care and computer support.
“Adult education provides many opportunities for continued, life-long learning. I am excited to serve both Lewiston and Auburn and look forward to building partnerships throughout our communities,” she said.
Tiner has a master’s of arts degree in educational policy and leadership from Wheelock College in Boston.
