Ms. Ortiz is Pat Ham's Staff of the Month. Ms. Ortiz is a graduate of Purdue University. Growing up, she always knew that she wanted to be a school teacher. She has taught for Dowagiac schools for the last 5 years. When she is not at school, she enjoys camping and hiking with her family. Mrs. Ortiz also loves the Chicago Cubs. Ms. Ortiz always goes above and beyond for the students in her classroom as well as the entire student body. Through her dedication and commitment to Pat Ham, she has developed our Student Council, Robotics Team and the Girls Who Code club. We are very lucky to have her as a 5th grade teacher at Patrick Hamilton and are proud to call her a Chieftain!!
