She is in her 18th year of teaching at St. Peter's, having taught fourth, fifth, sixth, and now, eighth grades throughout those years. Prior to coming here, she taught at Pleasant Run Elementary School. Ms. Wirtz has been a lifelong member of St. Peter in Chains, even attending school here since first grade! She has two daughters and three beautiful grandsons. Ms. Wirtz leads our service-learning program. 

Ms. Wirtz takes an energetic and creative approach to teaching, incorporating many interactive, problem-based experiences and hands-on activities into her lessons. She enjoys helping those in need and passing on that experience to her students through service learning. “I love St. Peter in Chains because it has always been my home,” she says. “The people here are an extended family. The students keep me young and energetic. They remind me to never go a day without laughing, and that learning is a lifelong adventure. We are so lucky to have St. Peter’s in our community.”
