Misty Patureau
Veterans' Hill Elementary Principal
Veterans’ Hill Principal, Misty Patureau, has the gift of making everyone around her feel like family. She wears her heart on her sleeve and sees beauty in all things! She dotes on her students with love and compassion as if they were her own. Mrs. Patureau believes in a community that consists of parents, staff, and mentors that understand the importance of being a partner in education for their students.
Mrs. Patureau starts her day off by helping with traffic control/flow. She values this part of the day because she GETS to welcome the kids as they walk into the school. "Seeing the kids' smiling faces and connecting with the parents; now that's what it's all about,” says Mrs. Patureau. It's apparent that she is the glue that brings the campus together. She is the rock for when the teachers need support. She is the cheerleader for when the campus needs extra pep. Mrs. Patureau is not afraid to get in the trenches and provide a helping hand wherever she's needed. She is one-of-a-kind and a true advocate for children.
VHES is a dual-language campus, and Mrs. Patureau speaks both English and Spanish fluently. Her campus is paving the way for diversity and fostering an environment of belonging. Her number one goal on her campus is that her students embody the Hippo Way: to be respectful, responsible, and safe. Nothing makes her happier than hearing from the Middle School Principals that her VHES students are thriving.
She reminds us it's the little things that make the biggest impact. Mrs. Patureau encourages everyone around her to let their light shine!
Mrs. Patureau, Hippo Nation is grateful for YOU!
