Mrs. Patty Durel
I’m Patty Durel and I am teaching 5th Grade English Language Arts. This is my first year at Vonore Middle School, and I am truly excited to be working in this marvelous community! My family moved to Tennessee in 2021 after my husband retired from the US Navy. I have worked with students from K-6th Grade and taught in Nevada, California, Hawaii, and now in Tennessee. East Tennessee is the most beautiful and peaceful place I have ever been, and I am grateful every day to be here!
