Celebrating Head of School Peter Quinn P’15 ’18 ’21

Peter Quinn will retire from Peddie at the end of the school year after a remarkable 12 years as head of school. Peter’s Peddie journey began in 1985 and he has served as an English teacher, coach, college counselor, and admission director. His career took him to Virginia before he returned in 2013 as head of school.

Peter the teacher. Peter the leader. Peter the listener. Peter the actor. Peter the bow-tie-wearing whistler … his impact on the community is already legendary.
