Mount Paran Christian School announces Peter Hill as the new Head of Middle School, beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year.
Hill comes to MPCS from Catholic Memorial School in Boston, Mass., where he is a member of the Academic Leadership Team, a history teacher, and varsity head soccer coach. With vast independent school experience, Hill has taught a variety of history courses, including AP Comparative Politics, where his students over the years have earned an astounding 94% pass rate. He has served as the International Student Coordinator, developed and implemented the faculty peer mentoring program, and advised and mentored faculty to better enable bilingual students using translanguaging pedagogy. Prior to Hill’s time at Catholic Memorial, he taught at Marianapolis Preparatory School in Connecticut and St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire.
Hill holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Dartmouth College and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Boston College.
MPCS Head of School Dr. Tim Wiens said of the appointment, “First and foremost, Peter is a devout evangelical believer who loves the Lord and seeks to serve Him in all he does. Peter will make a great impact on our school and its culture, specifically in the middle school, as he leads the faculty, staff, and students to higher levels of excellence and a deeper love for our Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Tawanna Rusk, MPCS Associate Head of School and Head of High School, has served as the interim Head of Upper School during the 2022-2023 school year while the school conducted a nationwide search. Hill will begin his tenure at MPCS in the summer of 2023.
Of the opportunity, Hill said, “I am honored and excited to join the MPCS community and serve both [the school] and the Lord as Head of Middle School. Mount Paran Christian School’s commitment to prioritizing one’s relationship with Christ increases my joy and enthusiasm for the work ahead. My wife, Evan, and I feel blessed to join the Eagle family and look forward to rooting our lives in the school and the Kennesaw-Marietta area.”
