Horizons at SCH Academy

Patterson joined SCH in the summer of 2021 working as a reading specialist for the inaugural Horizons program. In August of 2021, she moved to the role of 4th-grade girls homeroom teacher at SCH. Last summer, she also worked as a reading specialist in the Horizons program. During the search for the Horizons at SCH site director, it became clear that Patterson’s contributions to the Horizons program, her record of success both prior to joining SCH and as a full-time member of the school’s faculty, and her passion for the Horizon's mission would be invaluable. The position requires both an administrator who implements the program and a recognized leader who will connect all the Horizons at SCH constituencies—the Board, Horizons national and regional leadership, Horizons students and their families, partner schools, teachers, volunteers, founders, and aligned community organizations.

Patterson holds a bachelor’s in education from Temple University where she studied early childhood and elementary education. She also holds a Master of Education from Eastern University where she focused on multicultural education. She is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Education in educational leadership with a certification in supervision and administration. She has over 10 years of experience in education.

Patterson will continue her role as a full-time teacher in SCH’s Lower School in addition to her role as site director.
