Hello, my name is Patricia Johnson and I have been a part of this exceptional school for eight years. My husband David, Chaplin at Mercy Hospital, and I have two married daughters. Our precious grandchildren, Kayla and Kyle, keep us busy every Friday evening and Saturday.

My educational career has given me a wide variety of opportunities from the classroom to administration. As a classroom teacher, I have taught pre-kindergarten through 6th, with the exception of fourth. Administrative roles have given opportunities as principal of several Christian schools, Early Childhood and Title coordinator for Putnam City Schools, and administrative intern for Deer Creek. Special projects include revising the P.A.S.S. for our state department of education, author for Scotts Foresman/Addision Wesley, beginning the Four Year Old program and Reading Recovery for Putnam City.

I hold three masters degrees, one in Early Childhood from Southern Nazarene University, another in administration from the University of Central Oklahoma and a Christian Education degree.

Not only do I have a passion for working with children, I enjoy teaching teachers. I am beginning my seventeenth year as an adjunct professor. Speaking at regional and national conferences and teaching Great Expectations in the summer takes my spare time.

Teaching children how to think, to not fear mathematics, and to fall in love with reading is why I am passionate about what I do. When not working in the field of education, I am enjoying my family, speaking at Christian women’s retreats or writing.

We attend Metropolitan Baptist Church where I am involved in the deaf, children’s, women’s and prison ministries.

Living life to its fullest and giving of ones self to others brings great pleasure and purpose to my life.
