Robin Schneider
My two girls brought me to the Catholic school system. It was no accident because before I knew it, I was teaching second grade at an independent Catholic school in Maryland. This is my twenty-first year of teaching in Catholic schools. Being called to educate children in a Catholic school is a vocation, not a job. You have the ability to guide children to see God's hand in each part of their lives. St. Peter Catholic School's backbone is the 100% support from Father Gregory Golyzniak, the parishioners, and its teachers and staff. St. Peter has been blessed with many years of dedicated priests, teachers, and staff who see the value and dignity of each child. Our principal, Sheila Whalen, is an Instructional Leader, who leads by example to ensure each child is met where they are and given what they need to grow and flourish. Outside of offering a great education, we have the opportunity to help students obtain grace through the Sacraments, teach them ways to stay in the state of grace, and encourage them to share that grace with those around them. I know no better way than to spend my days being involved in this most important work for the Church and our community. I am Blessed to be at St. Peter Catholic School! |

Kristina Thompson
"From a young age I knew I wanted to be a teacher in a Catholic school. I began substitute teaching in Catholic education when I was 19 years old and attending college. I feel very fortunate to be teaching at St. Peter Catholic School. I have been here since the 2019/20 school year. I know that for my first-grade daughter and me, being within a Catholic educational environment is where we are meant to be. This school, in particular, WILL make it a priority to learn about your child and foster your child's individual needs; it is an academic and caring community." |

Middle school teacher Mr. Axt says, "I love teaching at St. Peter because it is an opportunity to teach how science and religion do not conflict." |
Carol Burns
Office Administrator Carol Burns makes a positive impact on every St. Peter family. The LeVier family has two students at St. Peter. Parent Kristi LeVier says, "We chose SPCS because we felt comfortable talking to Mrs. Carol Burns. I spoke with her on the phone, and it was the comfort of her voice that made me realize that I wanted my kids going there (to St. Peter). She answered all my questions while I was out of state, and my spouse was taking a tour. We thank her for making us feel so welcomed!" |
Rose Marie Blazi
Ms. Blazi has been with St. Peter Catholic School since it opened in the Fall of 2003. Mrs. Blazi says, "At the present time, I am teaching a three year-old class and loving it!
