The Lexington Two Board of Trustees approved the hiring of Allison Jackson as an assistant principal at Wood Elementary School at its June 20 meeting.

Jackson comes to Lexington Two after serving as assistant administrative principal at Lexington-Richland 5’s Piney Woods Elementary School, a role she began in July 2023. Prior to that, Jackson worked at Lexington 1’s Midway Elementary School, where she served as a lead interventionist, interventionist, classroom teacher, and instructional math coach during her 10-plus years at the school.

Jackson received a bachelor’s degree from Clemson University and a master’s degree from the University of South Carolina.

“I am eager to join Wood Elementary School as a new assistant principal,” Jackson said. “As a servant leader, I will embrace the opportunity to build a positive school community for the students, staff and families. I will work with the team to increase student achievement while caring for the whole child. I am excited to have the opportunity to join the innovative team focused on being Champions for Children.” 

She will begin her new role on July 1.
