Mrs. Alexander Promoted to Principal of Saint Peter Catholic School

Father Jim Buchholz, Pastor of Saint Peter Catholic Church, has promoted Mrs. Joan Alexander to the position of principal of Saint Peter Catholic School.  When Father Jim announced the promotion at a faculty luncheon, the faculty responded with an enthusiastic standing ovation. 

Last spring, Mrs. Alexander completed her 23rd year of teaching, all of which have been at Saint Peter Catholic School.  In fact, she graduated from Saint Peter before going on to high school and East Carolina University to earn her undergraduate degree in Child Development and Family Relations.  In 2001, Mrs. Alexander completed her Masters Degree in Educational Supervision. Before her promotion this summer to interim assistant principal, Mrs. Alexander was teaching second grade and serving as the Director of the Primary Division at SPCS.
