Lambresa Named Principal of the Madeline English School

District Bids Farewell to Ms. Tringale

Special to The Advocate

Superintendent of Schools William Hart has named Paolo G. Lambresa the new Principal of the Madeline English School, effective on Monday, October 28, 2024. Lambresa succeeds Theresa Tringale, who is retiring after a distinguished 40-year career as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal in the Everett Public Schools (EPS).

“We are saying goodbye to an educator of the highest caliber,” said Superintendent Hart. “Ms. Tringale brought poise, professionalism, and expertise to every role she held. She is a consummate teacher and leader, and I ask the entire EPS community to join me in wishing her the absolute best in retirement.”

In Mr. Lambresa, the Madeline English School is welcoming a 12-year EPS veteran who has served as a social studies teacher, an Everett High School (EHS) dean, and an assistant principal at the Lafayette School and the Parlin School. He joins a leadership team that includes assistant principals Tiffany Boyake and Anastasia Kolokithas. The English School is home to approximately 775 students, the Learning Adaptive Behavior Program, and Language-Based programs.

“He is fluent in all aspects of building operations, he is intimately familiar with the needs of our students and families, and he has delivered demonstrative results in every role he has held with the Everett Public Schools,” said Superintendent Hart. “As such, Mr. Lambresa is ideally suited to lead the Madeline English School.”

This is the first change of leadership in a decade at the Madeline English School, the last stop during Ms. Tringale’s long and varied career in the EPS. A graduate of Salem State, Ms. Tringale was a classroom teacher at the Horace Mann, Hamilton, Centre, Hale, and Lafayette schools from 1985-2005. After serving as an Assistant Principal at the Keverian, Parlin, and Whittier schools, she was appointed Principal of the Madeline English School in 2014.

Like his predecessor, Mr. Lambresa is a product of the Everett Public Schools, an Everett High graduate, and an EPS veteran who held several positions in the lead up to being named a principal at the Madeline English School.

Mr. Lambresa graduated from EHS in 2004 and Stonehill College in 2008. From there, he earned a law degree from the Massachusetts School of Law. After passing the bar exam, he co-founded and served as a partner in the Law Offices of Lambresa and Rose.

His education career began in 2012. He was a licensed History teacher under the tutelage of former Social Studies Coordinator Paul Bertone. He then became an EHS Dean of Students, a position he held for four years. He was the catalyst in implementing Restorative Justice at the high school. As a member of the EHS administration team, he also created a school and district plan around Rethinking Discipline in the EPS, which he presented to the Massachusetts Department Of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) Department.

In 2017, Mr. Lambresa continued his administrative career by becoming an Assistant Principal, first at the Lafayette School and then at the Albert N. Parlin School. As an Assistant Principal, Mr. Lambresa helped implement Restorative Justice into the Middle School system. He has also become certified in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention in Schools (TCIS) and has trained staff in TCIS. During his time in the Administrative Union, he served on the Unit B Negotiations Team and helped with negotiations between the Everett Teachers Association (ETA) and Central Administration during COVID. He is also the Unit B Representative for all Unit B members.  Mr. Lambresa also serves on the EPS Wellness Committee and the district’s Student Handbook Committee.

While at Stonehill Mr. Lambresa met his wife of 12 years, Ashley Lambresa, who is an EPS Special Education Coordinator. Together, they have 3 children: Josephine (7), Gaetano (5), and Rosalina (2). Mr. Lambresa enjoys coaching his children in various sports and activities and spending time with his family.
