    Dr. Kendra Trail began her role as Assistant Executive Director of the Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12 on July 1, 2020.

    Prior to joining the LIU12 Family, she served as superintendent in the Southern Fulton School District and the Greencastle-Antrim School District as well as the Executive Director of Tuscarora Intermediate Unit 11. Early in her education career, she served as an elementary teacher and principal. She has been in public education for 26 years.

    Building professional relationships with all stakeholders is a critical piece in the work intermediate units do; therefore, she is excited to work with the LIU Faculty and Staff to provide quality services to school districts.

    Dr. Trail is charged with a variety of responsibilities and duties; however, she will be working closely with the Executive Director and Cabinet Members to lead LIU into the future.
