Hello!  My names is Patti Hance and I have been a teacher at S. Ray Lowder since 2005.  I started as a Gateway Assistant while I finished my degree in Education from UNCC.  I am originally from Pennsylvania, but have lived here in Lincolnton since I got married. My husband and I have two sons, our oldest graduated from UNC - Chapel Hill and our youngest son is a senior at  Appalachain State.
