Introducing our morning school staff
Our Director
Hello! My name is Patti Scott and I am the director of St. Paul Lutheran School. I am a life-long learner and have taught Science to curious children for over 30 years. For the last 12 years I have worked for Texas Tech University with their Education Department to supervise their student teachers as well as teach various classes. Since moving to Vernon, 4 years ago, I have been an online instructor for Tech.
While I enjoy my online students, I am enjoying the day to day interaction with the wonderful staff here at St. Paul Lutheran School.
I am enjoying seeing all of your curious children and working with you!
