Rick Swanson

Principal

Mr. Swanson became principal of Hingham High School in 2017 after serving as assistant principal for ten years.  A former history teacher and coach, Mr. Swanson remains animated by the same values that first led him to an inner-city classroom in Chicago. An educator for more than twenty-five years, he continues to believe in the capacity of our public schools to transform society. “Graduates of Hingham High School,” he says, “not only develop their skills and expand their knowledge in powerful ways. They know what it feels like to belong to a genuine community, drawing inspiration both from their teachers and from each other. They leave our school wanting to improve the world and believing they can.”    Mr. Swanson can be reached at (781) 741-1560 Ext. 2102 or rswanson@hinghamschools.org
