ROCKPORT — Five Town CSD Adult and Community Education Director David Watts and Program Manager Elyse Socker have welcomed Nancy Nickerson and Beverly Shejen to their staff.

Nickerson is the new Academic Coordinator and instructor for HiSET diploma completion, English as a Second Language, College Transitions, and Adult Transitions programs, as well as a tutor and support person for Career Pathways programming.

Nickerson has been working in education for over 20 years, ranging from classrooms of elementary school students to college. As an Employment and Community Service Specialist for FEDCAP she evaluated participants’ vocational and educational needs and participated in many community outreach committees.

Nickerson is excited to share her enthusiasm for learning with the adult learners in the community. She is taking over from longtime instructor Heidi Nolan, who recently became the new Adult Ed Director for Midcoast School of Technology.

Beverly Shejen has taken the position of evening secretary long held by Linda Pierpont, who decided to take a job closer to her home in Jefferson.

Shejen worked the past 10 years for the Maine Public Utilities Commission; prior to that she worked for the Secretary of State’s Elections Division and spent several years in both the Camden and Appleton Town Offices. She brings a wealth of office and management experience, as well as patient customer service skills – and much enthusiasm, according to a Five Town news release.

Five Town CSD Adult Education’s office is located in Camden Hills Regional High School, 25 Keelson Drive, Rockport.

Nickerson’s office is located in the Adult Learning Center in the Superintendent’s Office (the “bus barn”) off Knowlton Sreet in downtown Camden.
