“I am excited to embark on this new academic challenge,” said Mrs. Buskirk. “I look forward to
working together with English and world language teachers to enhance their instructional practices as
well as the educational opportunities that we provide to our students.”
Trina McGregor joined the ACPS team in 1996 as a math teacher at Washington Middle
School, where she has spent her entire career. She is currently a Math School Improvement Specialist.
Trina earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary/Middle School Education and her Master
