Matt,
I agree with Shadowmem on this; your chemistry teacher knows just
enough about peroxide to get you both into trouble. Try to find someone
local who knows more and is willing to advise you. The local model
rocket group would be a good place to start.
If you can't find a local club, look to the Web. There's an active club
over at Houston, and they have a good Web site. You should be able to
hook up with them via e-mail.
While you're browsing for that, look for the "Hydrogen Peroxide
Propulsion Conference". The full set of papers from the first or second
conference is on the Web. Also, look for the Solvay Interox Web site. It's
a major peroxide supplier, and has some good information on handling
the stuff.
