Welcome!

Hello!  My name is Tia Patton and I teach art at Madisonville Middle School.  I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary (K-8)  education with a minor in English at Tennessee Wesleyan.  I later earned my endorsement in art education taking classes through Pellissippi State, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and Lee University.  I have also completed my Master's degree in Reading Education with a Reading Specialist license through Carson Newman.  

 

I am married to my husband, Steven,  who is also a teacher.   We have two children and a daughter in law, Hunter who graduated from Tennessee Wesleyan with a degree in biology.  He works for the United States Forest Service.  His wife, Amber,  is working toward a teaching degree at UTK.  Our daughter, Cadence, is attending Tennessee Wesleyan University majoring in Biology.  We also have a dog, a bluetick named Tod. We love spending time together as a family!  I love to read, watch tv, traveling to new places, and trying new restaurants.  I'm so excited to have each of you in my class this year!
