WEST NEWBURY – Superintendent Justin Bartholomew and Principal Brenda Erhardt has announced that Jonathan Amico has been selected as Athletic Director for the Pentucket Regional School District.
Amico comes to the Pentucket Regional School District from Wilmington, where he has served as Assistant Athletic Director for three years. While in Wilmington he served as Boys Basketball Coach, and created and coached a Unified Basketball team.
He also played a significant role in growing and rebranding the Athletic Department, which included creating a Captains’ Council and Student-Athlete of the Month awards.

Superintendent Bartholomew and Principal Erhardt wish to recognize and thank departing Athletic Director Daniel Thornton for his years of service with Pentucket as the Athletic Director and as an Assistant Principal. Thornton will become a principal in the Lawrence Public Schools.
“Dan and his family have done tremendous work on behalf of our Pentucket student-athletes, and we are grateful for their dedication,” Superintendent Bartholomew said.
