Peggy Gearhardt

It took only one visit to Wintergreen to fall in love with its beauty and want to call it home. In 2021, my husband and I moved to the mountain and have been immersing ourselves in this special community ever since. As an educator and life-long learner, I want to further my own knowledge and appreciation of Wintergreen’s unique ecosystem – particularly all of the flora and fauna that surrounds me – as well as volunteer for programs that help our younger generation do the same. Prior to moving to Wintergreen, I taught in Loudoun County for 20 years and served in leadership roles at both the county and state levels including Treasurer and Secretary for the Virginia Association of Teachers of English for nearly 10 years. I earned a B.A. in Public Relations from Purdue University, an M.Ed. in Education from Marymount University, and a Reading Specialist certification from Shenandoah University.
