Mr. Patterson, a glasses-adorned, baggy-jeaned, blue-shirt wearing teacher, towers over most of the people in the school.

“I think I’m going to start calling him ‘Jimmy Neutron Teacher Genius’,” said Kim Frank, senior.

At home, Mr. Patterson likes to hang out with his son Colt, keep his yard clean, and keep busy doing something.

“I most value family in life,” said Mr. Patterson

Like at home, at school Mr. Patterson is always occupied. This teacher and coach cracks jokes, teaches American History and Economics, and gives people a hard time. He’s worked in the educational field for nine years and his favorite animal is the Bald Eagle because “it’s our nation’s mascot.”

“I loved having American History and Marketing when I was in school,” said Mr. Patterson, who describes himself as smart, shiny, and sarcastic. “Plus, I would like people to know that I’m not as mean as I seem to be.”

Having played trombone for a year, Mr. Patterson enjoys all kinds of music, except classical.

“I love to dance,” said Mr. Patterson. “In the ‘80s my favorite bands were Metallica and 311.”
