St. Peter's Cathedral School
Father McQuaide appoints Ms. Jane Manley
as new Principal of Saint Peter Cathedral School
The Very Reverend Joseph W. McQuaide, IV, Rector of the Cathedral of Saint Peter, has appointed Ms. Jane Manley as the next principal of Saint Peter Cathedral School, effective July 1, 2020.
Saint Peter Cathedral School, located in the heart of inner-city Wilmington, currently educates 94 students in Pre-K3 through Grade 8. Founded by the Daughters of Charity in the Quaker Hill neighborhood of Wilmington, it has been led by the religious sisters since its foundation in 1830. Sister Donna Smith, D.C., has been principal since 2014. While the religious congregation is reassigning Sister Donna, the Daughters remain committed to Cathedral School as it transitions to its first lay leader.
On assuming this new role, Ms. Manley expressed her excitement “to serve the Saint Peter Cathedral School community especially during this transition period. It is an honor to become part of the one-hundred-ninety-year mission of educating children in the Catholic tradition of excellence in the inner city of Wilmington. I look forward to joining the SPCS community and immersing myself in the cherished traditions and charisms the Daughters of Charity have cultivated for almost two centuries.”

From a tiny mustard seed courageously planted in 1830 by three sisters from Mother Seton’s community, St. Peter’s Cathedral School has grown from an orphanage and boarding school to a Diocesan Elementary School that proudly proclaims a long and rich history.
Administered by the Daughters of Charity, who view education as a freeing process, the Cathedral School provides an atmosphere that speaks the Gospel Message and responds to the needs of society. The school community is comprised of children from a variety of religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds in grades Pre-K3 to 8; such diversity is the soil from which respect and understanding grow. The school, which is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, provides a superior education in a caring environment. For more information, please call (302) 656-5234. |
