About Ms. Patton 👩🏻‍🏫 

I am so excited to be your teacher this year!  This is my 16th year of teaching in the Fort LeBoeuf School District.  I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary and Special Education and Master's Degree in Educational Leadership, along with certifications in 7-12th grade math and English Language Arts from Edinboro University and in gifted education from Slippery Rock University.  I taught math for the first 10 years of my teaching career.  I have one brother, Brad, who lives in California with his wife and two children (pictured to the left) and he works as a biomedical engineer for Johnson & Johnson. I have a 6 year old English Bulldog named Betty and a new bulldog puppy named Marge (Margie)!  I have been very busy over the summer training Margie and also building a brand new house!  In my free time I really enjoy traveling.  Some of my favorite places to which I have traveled include: Maine, California, Colorado, Florida, North and South Carolina, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Costa Rica, and Italy. Some day I would like to travel to Australia, New Zealand, Greece, Bali, Hawaii, The United Kingdom (I want to visit the Harry Potter castle), and The Grand Canyon.  My other hobbies include skiing, volleyball, paddle boarding and kayaking, playing pickleball, and crafting. I recently got my hunting license and am going to hunt for the first time this year- Wish me luck! A fun fact that kids always enjoy hearing about me is that I was a contestant on Fear Factor Live in 2015. I placed third out of six contestants.  I am looking forward to assisting you throughout your high school career in many areas including career and postsecondary exploration, enrichment/acceleration, and scheduling needs just to name a few. I also can't wait to learn all about your hobbies, interests, strengths, and goals for high school and beyond!
