Peter Hartwig

Spontaneous standing ovations in the relative calm of St. Joseph’s Chapel only happen for a very good reason. 

Peter Hartwig was moved to tears during an April chapel service in which the boys loudly showed their approval for his hiring as the next Chaplain. 

Mr. Hartwig has been at Christ School for three years now and most recently served as Director of Spiritual Life, a role in which he oversaw the chapel program and anchored the school pillar of Spirituality. He has also taught Public Speaking and three other religion courses. 

Mr. Hartwig was an Echols Scholar at the University of Virginia, receiving his B.A. in Religious Studies & Classics in 2016. He then went on to receive master’s degrees from the University of Cambridge (Master of Philosophy) and Princeton Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity).

Mr. Hartwig's employment before Christ School included posts at Northwest University in Kirkland, Wash., and the Westminster Theological Centre in the United Kingdom. He was also a Communications Associate for Global Endowment Management, LP out of Charlotte. 

Mr. Hartwig lives on campus.
