Meet Patty
Patty is a very skilled teacher. She loves working at Henderson and working with students. She had been working at GHHS as a math teacher, but discovered she works better with smaller crowds.
Patty loves being outside and exploring this lovely world we call home. She also appreciates being able to open up students to the world of math as well as working one on one with students. When she came to Henderson she saw an opportunities to work closer with her students and to help teach them more. And, from what i've been told, she is a pickle ball champion as well. ~Chase |
