Rarely will you see Donna Wheeler P'21 around campus without a camera in her hands.
Mrs. Wheeler has seen a countless amount of special Christ School moments through her viewfinder since 2002 and captured them through photos.
Mrs. Wheeler serves as Director of Publications, meaning she is the editor of The Galax magazine and oversees and edits all print and marketing materials; she also serves as the primary school photographer and advisor for our yearbook, The Angelus. Overall, Mrs. Wheeler has worked in independent schools for more than 30 years. She began the Christ School portion of her career as chair of the English Department and cross country coach. Mrs. Wheeler earned a B.A. in English from Middlebury College in 1983 and an M.A. in English from Middlebury’s Bread Loaf School of English four years later.
Her hobbies include quilting, poetry, and spending time with her dog, Birdie. Mrs. Wheeler is married to Tad Wheeler, who is part of Christ School’s grounds crew. Mrs. Wheeler has four sons, Chris, Josh, Carter, and Max ’21.
Life has come full circle for new Bookstore Assistant Cindy Wheeler, who attended a youth summer camp in the 1960s at Christ School.
She grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, but has lived in many other places since then, including New York City where she worked for Random House publishers, South Africa where she worked to raise cheetahs for a conservation program, and California where she grew to appreciate some of the Golden State’s greatest treasures – fine wine, river-rafting, and snow-skiing.
Ms. Wheeler holds a BFA in Graphic Design and Illustration from Auburn University which translates into her current interests of painting and graphic design. Christ School is a family affair for Ms. Wheeler as her brother is longtime grounds worker Tad Wheeler and her sister-in-law is Director of Publications Donna Wheeler P’21.
No matter where his travels take him, Matthew Williams remains endlessly fascinated with the subject of Physics and connecting science to real-world applications.

He is quite a world traveler, having visited more than 25 countries. Mr. Williams spent five years teaching and coaching at an international school in Singapore.
He and his wife, Chelsey, live on campus with their son, Judah.
