Dear Petrides Families, 

Here is to another great week at Panther Nation!!

SSG Michael Ollis Memorial

October 30, 2024 was a special day at The Petrides School. A dedicated memorial in our main lobby will forever be known as Michael Ollis Way. The area is dedicated to SSG Ollis and his heroic actions on August 28, 2013. Let’s all remember to “Be Like Mike”.

Thank you to Mr. John Cucuzza and our Student Government for making the even perfect.
