Patrick Noote

East Campus English teacher, Patrick Noote, has taught at MCHS for 5 years. Before becoming a Warrior, he served in the US Air Force primarily at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. 

Before becoming an English teacher at East Campus, Patrick Noote trains with the US Air Force.

He enlisted when he was 17 years old and since he was underage, he needed a parent’s permission to enlist. Noote stated that he enlisted because he didn’t like not having a plan and figured it wouldn’t hurt to join the military.

Noote did end up being sent overseas during his military career. He was sent to Oman in 2002, which is the southernmost point of the Middle East, right off the Arabian Sea. He was there for 100 days after the attacks on September 11th. 

When he wasn’t overseas, Noote worked presidential security at Andrews.
