Kate Hardwick ’07 returns to St. Andrew’s as a history teacher, bringing nearly 15 years of experience in public and independent schools. She most recently served as history department chair at St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Va., where she taught a range of courses including World and American History, research seminars, and electives on human rights and global issues. In addition to her teaching, she served as an advisor and global travel chaperone and contributed to several committees, including admissions and professional growth.

Kate holds a master’s in independent school leadership from Vanderbilt University (Nashville, Tenn.) and a bachelor’s in history from The George Washington University (Washington, D.C.), where she graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.

Having grown up on a boarding school campus, Kate is excited to return to boarding school life. She loves working closely with students and helping them engage meaningfully with the past and present. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, cheering on the Washington Nationals, and exploring the world through travel.
