Ms. Patton

Ms. Merry Patton is a new addition to the math department. Patton earned her math credential through Cal State Long Beach and her bachelor’s degree in special education from National University. She commenced her teaching career as a resource specialist and has taught special education for the past nine years. “I grew up in Los Angeles and everything [switching of majors and moving to the desert] that happened led me to here,” said Patton. As this is her tenth year teaching, Patton’s educational philosophy is for students to be active and strive for their best.
