Pam Lynn, Acton, enjoyed forty-five years in the Acton-Boxborough School System as an educator, mentor and administrator. Never leaving the classroom, she served as the Social Studies Department Head while introducing high school students to Russian history and AP Psychology. Upon retirement Pam shifted to community service including terms on the Historic District Commission and Acton Memorial Library Board of Trustees as Vice Chair and Secretary, as an archivist for the Discovery Museum, and Secretary of the Friends of the Acton Council on Aging. Joining the Acton 250 Committee brought her full circle academically. A Midwesterner, she came east to study history at Wellesley College and received a master’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Pam has lived in Acton since 1981 with her husband Jon Benson, a retired attorney. Her association with Groton Hill began years ago when her adult sons took lessons at Indian Hill.
