Petersburg Pilot -

Traveling teams are soon going to receive a new greeting when they enter the Petersburg High School Gym.

The Class of 2022 has chosen to make a sign that reads “Welcome to the Longhouse: Home of the Vikings” as its class gift.

The sign will hang in the gym above the weight room doors, but it will not formally rename the gym facility and will only be an artistic welcome.

Though the design is still in the works, seniors are working...
