Groveland’s Dr. Elmer S. Bagnall Elementary School’s new leadership team is complete with the hiring of a new assistant principal from within the district.
Brenda Erhardt, currently teaching at West Newbury’s Dr. John C. Page Elementary School, was selected Bagnall’s assistant principal. Pentucket Regional School District Superintendent Justin Bartholomew said Erhardt has worked as an English-Language Arts teacher in the district for 17 years.
As assistant principal, Erhardt will evaluate and supervise professional and support staff as well as plan, organize and implement curricular and administrative functions. Her responsibilities will also include assisting the principal in building management, enabling communication with families, identifying various student support needs and opportunities for growth and assisting in the analysis of schoolwide curriculum and teaching.
Erhardt joins Principal Jim Day, who was formally appointed as principal in April after serving in that post on an interim basis.
