Pattie has just completed her first year of teaching for PREP and is thankful to be a part of this great organization.  She is a certified elementary education teacher and began her career teaching in public elementary schools.  Her most cherished and humbling job, though, has been partnering with her husband to homeschool their three children from kindergarten through high school graduation.  Throughout their family’s 17-year homeschooling journey, their children’s education was greatly enriched by the PREP community of teachers and families.

Married since 1991, Pattie &  Lee will celebrate their 30^th anniversary this year and will also graduate their youngest child from high school.  As her personal homeschooling journey ends and a new season begins, Pattie is thrilled to continue teaching and looks forward to partnering with her students’ families.  Her desire is to inspire her students to become life-time learners who will enjoy the process of learning to write clear and stylistically engaging essays.

Having made Texas her home for nearly 24 years, yet having roots back on the east coast, Pattie enjoys travelling back to Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania to visit relatives and friends.  When at home in Texas, Pattie enjoys savoring a good cup of coffee while reading autobiographies, cooking for her family or playing games with family and friends.
