Mr. Wareham is beginning his fifth school year as a member of the PRIDE. He began as a school counselor at Heritage in January 2021. Mr. Wareham graduated from Penn State University (Altoona) with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and received his Master of Education in School Counseling from George Mason University.

Mr. Wareham's passion for working with young people, especially teens, stems from his background as a swim coach.

Mr. Wareham is entering his 11th season coaching at his alma mater, Loudoun County High School, where he currently serves as the varsity head coach. He found his favorite part of coaching was building relationships and helping his student-athletes achieve success in and out of the water. Naturally, counseling was the perfect fit!

A fun fact about Mr. Wareham is that he was a member of the varsity men's swim team at Penn State Altoona, where he had a successful collegiate career in the pool, claiming many All-Conference accolades, setting team records, and became the program's first All-American.

He resides in Ashburn, VA and enjoys swimming, spending time with his wife, Melissa, friends and family, and cheering for the Nittany Lions on Saturdays in the fall.

 I’m excited to begin my first year at Heritage High School and my 11th year as a school counselor. Before joining the Heritage community, I spent a year at another high school in Loudoun County Public Schools and several years in Fairfax County Public Schools. I began my post-secondary education at Northern Virginia Community College and went on to earn both my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Education in School Counseling from George Mason University.

I’m a proud mom of three, and our home is full of energy with two small dogs and a bearded dragon. I enjoy trying new foods, listening to a good podcast, and dancing around the house with my kids. I also speak Spanish and go by Pati (short for Patricia, my middle name).

I look forward to getting to know my students and their families and being a supportive, approachable resource throughout the high school experience.
