Last week September 11, 2002 Petersburg HIgh School had a ceremony to honor all the victims involved in the terrorist attacks one year ago. Principal Ms. Gail Alexander spoke about the importance on remembering those lives lost in the attacks. Our very own Petersburg High Crimson Coral sang the National anthem and the band played "America the Beautiful" with Anthony Chatman a junior band member playing "Taps". The drama club also said a few words during the ceremony. The colors were presented by none other than Petersburg High School JROTC Color Guard. Pictures are linked below. Click Here for pictures.
