Mr. Guareschi
Mr. Petrelli is Holling’s Geography and Social Studies teacher at Camillo Junior High School. He's a fan of "Data Collection Worksheets" and assigning projects titled "(Important Historical Event) and Me." Holling thinks this is silly, given that he doesn't have any personal stake in any of the events his class learns about.
