Now though, Jewell will be stepping back from her position and into retirement after 15 years of dedicated service and limitless contributions to the school. Her homecoming and principalship was just another notch in her legacy at Freehold High School, as it wasn’t just her own high school, but also that of much of her family and, even more, the school to her own neighborhood, Freehold Boro, where she is very involved in her community. Beginning the 2005/06 school year, Linda Jewell was back at her alma mater but not just as any part of the staff, as the Principal. Then, the assistant principal at Freehold Township High School for 4 years, and as the penultimate stop on her odyssey, the principal at Jackson Memorial High School from 2001 through 2005. From 1972 all through 1988, she taught in the Freehold Boro school district, followed by 14 years in the Freehold Regional High School District as a Supervisor of Extra-Curricular Activities and supervisor at the adult high school, GED program and community education school. JanuJuly 1 of 2005, Linda Jewell came home.
