Alyssa Patton

 

Mrs. Patton returns "home" from Louise ISD where she was Elementary Music Teacher, Director of the JH Band, and Assistant Director for the HS band for the past 2 years. During that time she was part of the program's first Sweepstakes, and two visits as qualifiers to the 2A State Marching Contest. Mrs. Patton is a Flutist born and raised in La Grange, and has been on staff at schools ranging in size from 2A to 5A during her undergraduate studies. She is excited to be closer to home and helping young musicians along their journey of discovering who they are, and what they can do through music, as our new JH/Assistant Director. She brings great experience, and an energy that matches the Weimar Wildcat Music Program perfectly!
