== Personal life ==
Kwiatkowski was frequently lauded by television commentators for pursuing her post-secondary education while competing at the highest levels of the sport, a rare combination in figure skating, which typically demands 4 to 6 hours of daily practice to remain competitive at the elite level. While 1980s skating greats Debi Thomas (Stanford BA, Northwestern MD) and Paul Wylie (Harvard BA, MBA) had managed to do both, by Kwiatkowski's era in the middle and late 1990s, as professional opportunities in figure skating were multiplying in the wake of the Kerrigan-Harding scandal, there were seemingly very few skaters on the scene pursuing a college degree. According to a March 18, 1996 ''Los Angeles Times'' article, Kwiatkowski's college degree was duly noted as "...most of her competitors have not finished high school." Kwiatkowski graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College in Cleveland, Ohio with a degree in communications and psychology in 1994.
Tonia is a graduate of Lakewood (Ohio) High School as in the LHS Hall of Fame.
