We the Class of 2006, proudly dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Christina Petri. Mrs. Petri was our choral teacher for 21 years. She directed over 200 students belonging to three different choirs, taught guitar classes, headed the after school select Chambers Choir, taught and played music for the annual musicals, and helped students prepare for Regional and Allstate choirs. She dedicated her time to choir and her family, especially her cats. She was the best choir teacher that any of the students could ask for.
