Matthew Doran - Fine Arts Director

I am a lifelong member of St. Peter and an alum of the school.  I have been the organist here since 2016 and a teacher since 2019. I have a Bachelor of Music degree with an emphasis in Music Education and Music Performance.  I graduated Summa Cum Laude with University Honors. I completed the LCMS Teacher Colloquy program through Concordia University Wisconsin in 2021.

I have been Band Director, A.P. Music Theory Teacher,  Pit Orchestra Director, Fine Arts Teacher, Choir Director, General Music Teacher at the Elementary, Middle School, and High School levels, both public and private.

I grew up in Arlington Heights and attended St. Peter Preschool through 8th Grade.  I am a baseball fan and music enthusiast.

St. Peter provides an exceptional and immersive education in a student-centered, family-oriented environment with Jesus at the center.  We work to lead students to a Full Life in Christ and prepare them for leadership and achievement throughout life.  From the 2’s through 8th Grade, I see God working in the students as they grow in faith, friendships, and knowledge.
