My name is Patty Gabrish and I am proud to be the learning specialist at Christ the King Catholic School, a place where every student is embraced as a unique individual.  I earned my undergraduate degree from Oregon State University “GO BEAVS”!  I completed my Master of Education degree from Portland State University, and hold a special education certification in addition to my teaching license. I have been teaching for over 20 years in both public and Catholic schools and this is my ninth year at Christ the King. My husband and I have four children, all of whom attend or have attended, Catholic grade and high schools. Catholic education is a passion of mine. I believe that in our environment we have the ability to personalize education, including the spiritual side of each student. I strive to help students understand how they learn and to assist them in becoming life-long learners.
