Greetings Alvord!! My name is Patrick Koele (Cooley) and I am starting my 14th year of teaching overall.  For the last 8 years, I have been in the business world but my passion for working with kids never left me!  I would not have come back to teaching to go just anywhere.  As I became more knowledgeable about the Alvord, especially the people, I knew this is a place I would love to be.  My wife, Kelly, and I have been married 22 years and we have 3 kids; Levi (19, University of Arkansas), Dylan (18, plays basketball for Hardin Simmons in Abilene), and Ryder (14, 8th grade).  We are hoping to move out this way and fully immerse ourselves into the Alvord community! Go Dawgs!
