Meet your school's social worker

Patrick Arity

I am delighted to begin another school year!  As a seasoned professional with a 26-year track record and a profound interest in prevention efforts, I have an unwavering dedication to social-emotional learning. My passion led me to establish and successfully run a company which produced a screening tool for social-emotional learning for over a decade.

My journey is a testament to the passion and commitment I have for helping students progress.  In my role at the school, I help students develop crucial life and relationship skills that will extend far beyond the classroom.

I am married with two grown children and one granddaughter.  I am active in my church and enjoy ballroom dancing.  My hobbies include gardening, woodworking, camping, traveling, and telling bad "dad" jokes.
