About the Teacher
My name is Marie Patrick. I live in Tigerville with my husband and best friend, Tim Patrick. I have one son, Seth, a Daughter-in-Love, Marley, and a grandson (Hollis Calahan) that I so adore. I enjoy spending time at the lake, talking with friends and family, playing games, doing yard work, and traveling across the country and visiting National Parks.
I have been teaching 35 years for Greenville County Schools. I have also worked in Corporate America for 7 years. I have taught fourth grade elementary, sixth and seventh grade ELA, sixth and seventh grade math, Special Education self-contained and Inclusion, and I have been an Instructional Coach. I grew up in Greer and attended Greer Middle as well and graduated from Greer Senior High School.
