She begins her day at the high school in the morning, then serves lunch at Highland Park, and then returns to the High School to do dishes. While she loves all aspects of her job, her favorite parts are working with her coworkers and seeing the young kids at Highland Park, who add so much joy to her day. Lori Herron immensely enjoys working alongside Patty every day serving lunch. “Patty is always helpful. You never need to ask her to do something. She just jumps in and does what needs to be done.” Patty interacts well with coworkers and students alike, has a smile for everyone and a pleasant attitude. Patty grew up on a ranch with her sister and two brothers. As winter approaches, she does not miss calving but does miss the freedom of being able to ride whenever she pleased along with haying and feeding the cows. As a student herself, Patty attended Bear Paw School from kindergarten through 8th grade and then attended Havre High School. She attended college online and received a degree in environmental science through the Stradford Career Institute. While on her way to utilizing that degree, she met her husband and stayed in Havre. She gives her grandmother credit for letting her know that a position with the district was open and she likes her job because it works well with her family’s schedule. She and her husband of 14 years, Dusty, have two children Hailey a 7th grader and David a 6th grader. When Patty is not at work, she enjoys taking walks, crocheting, camping and reading western romance novels. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for Havre Public Schools.
Congratulations Patty Huestis, 2018 Classified Employee of the year.
