News Of Tewksbury Schools 'Downgrade' Premature and Inaccurate
O'Connor receives word that the Tewksbury Public Schools will not be downgraded by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
With apologies to Mark Twain, news of the Tewksbury Public Schools' demise has been greatly exaggerated. Contrary to published reports from earlier this week, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MDESE) will not be downgrading the school department from Level 2 to Level 3 status due to poor MCAS exam schools in recent years. On the contrary, Superintendent of Schools Dr. John O'Connor told the School Committee at its meeting on Wednesday, that he had just received preliminary notification from MDESE that the Tewksbury School District would remain at Level 2. MDESE grades individual schools and school districts on a 1 to 5 basis with 1 being schools that need the least oversight and improvement to reach MCAS …

Tewksbury will remain to be at level two until the town and the people responsible for the students whether its parents or guardians have higher expectations. Andover for example, all of those students are surrounded in an environment where they know they have to compete to remain a threat.

For New TMHS Principal, Relationships Are The Key To Education
Brenda Theriault-Regan settles into her new job but can't yet settle into her new office.
Brenda Theriault-Regan has long believed that successful education is about building strong, productive relationships. She is looking to build new relationships and grow existing ones, as she begins her first year as principal of Tewksbury Memorial High School. For Theriault-Regan, it's a dream job at a perfect time. 'You have your 'bucket list' of things to do in life and for me, being an educator or administrator at the high school was definitely one of those things," she said. "What an honor to be a part of the opening of a new school." As a member of the Space Needs Committee and the High School Building Committee, Theriault-Regan has been involved with the construction of the new Tewksbury High School since the very building and now …

Theriault-Regan Named New Principal Of Tewksbury High
Theriault-Regan will succeed Patricia Lally, who resigned to become the new assistant superintendent.
With a brand new high school scheduled to open its doors in less than 60 days, Superintendent of Schools Dr. John O'Connor wasted little time in naming a new principal. Brenda Theriault-Regan, presently the assistant principal at the John Ryan Middle School, has been selected to succeed Dr. Patricia Lally as Tewksbury Memorial High School principal. Lally resigned earlier this month after being appointed as the district's new assistant superintendent. O'Connor said he kept the screening process simple, only posting the opening at the high school internally. He interviewed two candidates for the position and feels strongly that Theriault-Regan is the right person for the job. He cited her experience with curriculum, technology and data …

Former TMHS Principal Admits, 'It Was A Difficult Decision' To Resign
Lally to assume the duties of assistant superintendent of schools.
All the pieces were in place. Dr. Patricia Lally was in line to be the principal of the sparkling new Tewksbury Memorial High School when it opened its doors in August. It would mark an apex in her career at TMHS, which began in 2003, as assistant principal and continued when she was named principal in 2007. Over the past four years, she had played a key role in the effort to construct a new high school campus, both in her role as an administrator and her place on the New High School Building Committee. Her place at the grand opening of the new school had been well earned and was something she was looking forward to. But a funny thing happened on the way to the ribbon cutting -- an opportunity that was just too good to pass up. Loreen …
