Principal's Weekly Update
Pentucket Weekly Update – February Vacation Edition
Dear Pentucket Families,
As we head into February vacation, I want to take a moment to wish all of our students, staff, and families a restful and enjoyable break. This time off is well deserved, and I hope everyone finds time to recharge, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy some winter activities.
Before we wrap up for the week, I want to celebrate some incredible achievements in our athletics program:
🏀 Girls’ Varsity Basketball clinched the Cape Ann League (CAL) Championship—an amazing accomplishment and a testament to their dedication and teamwork. Congratulations to the players and coaches on this well-earned success!
🏒 Girls’ Varsity Hockey held their Senior Night this week and continue to have a fantastic season. It’s great to see their hard work paying off on the ice!
🏒 Boys’ Varsity Hockey made history by defeating Newburyport for the first time in 21 years! A huge congratulations to the team and coaches for this milestone victory!
These student-athletes embody the spirit of Pentucket, and we are incredibly proud of their dedication and achievements.
Enjoy the break, and we look forward to seeing everyone back refreshed and ready to finish the winter season strong!
Best,
Brenda Erhardt
PMHS Principal
Reminder: Student Expectations at Sporting Events
We are asking for some help when students are attending a sporting event - whether it's a home game or away, students need to be respectful, good sports, and remain in the area the sport is taking place. We have received reports that students are wandering through buildings unattended. Please review this with your student prior to attending any event. Pentucket students have expectations that they should adhere to. We appreciate your help and support."

Sisters Helping Women in Need
Sisters Helping Women in Need is a community service project run by Kate Conover, a high school student at Pentucket. This is the fourth year this project has gone into action. In the years prior, over 200 women’s products were donated by students all around the Merrimack Valley. Women’s undergarments and hygiene products were presented to The Psychological Center, which helps women of all ages that are suffering from addiction and has 3 different spots where women need these donations. The Pegasus House houses 25 women under the age of 25, Women’s View houses 25 women over the age of 25, and DayBreak houses 25 homeless women. In March, the donations collected by the Sisters Helping Women in Need project will be delivered to these locations to make a difference in these women’s lives.
Pentucket High School and Middle School students are eligible to donate and receive community service hours for doing so. 1 item donated = 1 hour of community service. Hours are capped at 5 hours, but extra donations are appreciated. Donations include women’s undergarments and personal hygiene products. Students can drop off donations at the G.A.R. Memorial Library located in West Newbury. Students will be in charge of tracking their own hours this year using the Track It Forward app.
