According to Dr. Patrick Bingham, Petersburg City Public Schools Human Resources Director, the retirees together have given 734½ years of service to the community.

The most important role of a teacher is to give hope, said Brigadier General Jessie R. Cross, keynote speaker at the banquet.

“You can’t be an educator without a kind and generous heart,” Cross added.
