Two New Assistant Principals to Join Pentucket Middle High School

Pentucket Regional Middle High School is welcoming two new Assistant Principals for the 2025-2026 school year.

Assistant Principal Trina Forrest brings 23 years of classroom experience to the role, including the past 15 years as a classroom and special education teacher at the John C. Page Elementary School in West Newbury.

She holds bachelor’s degrees in Elementary Education and Communications and a master’s degree in Moderate Special Needs, all from the Boston College Lynch School of Education.

Assistant Principal Lindsay Donaldson joins Pentucket from Marblehead Public Schools. She has served as Assistant Principal at Marblehead High School since 2022, after 12 years as a classroom teacher.

She holds a bachelor’s degree from Boston University, and a master’s degree in History from Salem State College.

They will succeed Caitlin Burke and Andy Bub, who have left the district for other career opportunities.

“Thank you to Ms. Burke and Mr. Bub, whose dedication to our students made a significant difference in the Pentucket community,” Principal Brenda Erhardt said. “We’re happy to welcome Ms. Forrest and Ms. Donaldson to the Middle High School team and look forward to their contributions.”
