Theriault-Regan Named Next Tewksbury Assistant Superintendent

Tewksbury Memorial High School Principal Brenda Theriault-Regan has been named the new assistant superintendent of Tewksbury Public Schools after being formally nominated at a recent School Committee meeting. 

Superintendent Dr. John O’Connor made the nomination, citing Theriault-Regan's leadership of Tewksbury Memorial High School during a transition into a new facility as just one example of the many contributions she has made to the district.

O'Connor said while a committee was formed to interview outside candidates, he felt Theriault-Regan was the most qualified candidate for the position having served within the district in various roles including as a teacher and administrator. 

"Brenda has done a tremendous job leading the high school," O'Connor said. "Her ability to engage, motivate and excite students as well as faculty factored into the decision."

Theriault-Regan has invaluable contributions to the district while at the helm of Tewksbury Memorial High School, according to O'Connor.

"In the year and a half under her leadership, we have revitalized the high school," O'Connor said. "We've added new classes, changed the way we conduct the guidance office and these are all changes Brenda has shepherded through the high school and into classrooms."

O'Connor said these accomplishments largely factored into the selection of Theriault-Regan as the next assistant superintendent.

"We need someone in leadership to integrate Common Core curriculum into the Tewksbury Public Schools curriculum."

According to O'Connor, the district will begin advertising for a new Tewksbury Memorial High School principal this week and will hopefully have made a selection by February.

Theriault-Regan will officially take over as assistant superintendent on July 1, 2014.
