Juanita Pettice White taught French and English at the historic Torrence-Lytle High School in Huntersville during the 1960s, where she also served as a faculty advisor for the yearbook committee and the school paper, the "Torrence-Lytle Gazette." Currently, White is a resident at Huntersville Oaks Nursing Home. Many of her former students still visit her and affectionately call her, "Momma White." Her mind is sharp, and she remembers each one of her students clearly and has become acquainted with some of their children.
