About Ms. Petrini
What's with this "old-school" photo?
I am a proud graduate of Mercy High School, Class of 1983, and yes, that is me on the right in the photo above, with classmates Susan and Hanan. For those of you scoping out the old yearbooks in the library, back then, my name was "Kay Crisman," and you may know two of my classmates: Ms. Martini (Torrano), Ms. Rodriguez (Sanders) .
After graduating from Mercy, I pursued my B.A. in Political Science at San
Francisco State University. For almost ten years, I worked in politics and
non-profit organizations, before having the amazing chance to spend a year
living and working in Europe (Germany). My experiences overseas inspired me to
pursue an M.A. in German Language and Literature, and my passion for languages,
history and politics led me to become a teacher of both Social Studies and
German. I taught at San Francisco State University and Lowell High School
before "coming home" to Mercy, and I am thrilled to be back in this very special
community.
Here are some highlights from the past 25 years!
