I hope that while your child is at Guntersville Elementary School that I have a chance to get to know you personally.  It is such an honor to work in a school district that is such a part of me.  I grew up in Guntersville.  I attended Guntersville Elementary at the Old Rock School.  It was the wonderful experiences that I had there, at Cherokee, the Middle School, and Guntersville High School that made me know I wanted to be a teacher.  After graduating from The University of Alabama in 1988, I began teaching in Guntersville City Schools.   In 2005, I became the principal of Guntersville Elementary.  This is my twentieth year and what a great time I've had!

On a personal note, I am married to Scott Patton.  We have three children, Jack in 5th grade and twins, Mamie and Joe Scott in kindergarten.  Having children in our school system, I take my job very seriously.   Providing an outstanding education for the students at Guntersville Elementary is my goal.  Our school sets the tone for grades to come.
