Erstad, Craig

IEP Teacher

cmerstad@seattleschools.org

I have worked in education for the last 6 years as an IEP case manager and Math Co-Teacher. During my teaching I have enjoyed working with students and being active in various service capacities on campus. While teaching, I earned my Master’s Degree in Special Education.  I am lucky to have found a true passion for education, meeting students where they are at, and helping them work toward their educational goals and potential. I am looking forward to continuing that journey with the students and staff at Lincoln! Prior to becoming an educator, I served 9 years on Active Duty in the United States Air Force, and was stationed in California, Cyprus, South Korea, Germany, and Afghanistan as an aircraft mechanic on the U-2, F-16, and A-10. I continue to serve in the Air Force as a Reservist. 18 years ago I met and married my best friend and we have been lucky enough to have two wonderful children Corinna and Isaac. On the weekends, you can find us running, enjoying the great outdoors, and having brunch!

My name is Elliott Flavors and I am blessed to be a part of the Lincoln community, serving as a Tier 2 Intervention Counselor!

Upon my return to Seattle, I served as Assistant Principal at Denny International MS for 3 years. Serving and supporting students at the ground level is what brings joy into my life! Thus, I have pivoted back to the Counseling field. I am a proud alumnus of Washington State University...GO COUGS!!! I love my family and sharing the good news! I am always available to support students, families, and staff. Be blessed!

Science Teacher

Personal Message

My name is Jen Fox and I am thrilled to join the Lincoln HS Design Team. I want to help shape a school that empowers students to become thoughtful, creative and individual contributors to both our local and global communities. To accomplish this, Lincoln will require a robust science program to support all learners to achieve their goals. I have been a science educator with Seattle Public Schools for 18 years. During this time, I have worked as a middle and high school science teacher as well as a high school science instructional coach. Currently, I teach high school biology to 8th grade students at Hamilton International Middle School. I serve on both the SPS High School and Middle School Science Alignment Teams, Hamilton Science Department Chair and member of the SPS High School Biology Collaborations. I believe students learn science best when given a chance to work collaboratively through scientific investigations, analyze data and discuss their ideas to explain scientific concepts.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, graduated with B.S from University of Washington, M.Ed from Western Washington University and have been a Nationally Board Certified Teacher since 2007. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family, including two school-aged children in Seattle Public Schools.

A creative writing and literature major in college, and a freelance writer and editor after graduating, Mr. Fox comes to the classroom with a dual appreciation of the joy and utility of artful, lucid writing and close, thoughtful reading.

Gandy, Robert

English Language Arts Teacher

rlgandy@seattleschools.org

I enjoy teaching World History, and I love exploring the rich stories of the great civilizations of Africa, Asia, and South America. In my class, we read primarily the literature of diverse authors writing about important social issues our country faces today. I was born and raised in Louisiana, but moved to Seattle to attend college. I was a History major at the University of Washington, and then later earned my Master in Teaching degree at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. In my time away from school I love traveling around the world, including places such as India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Guatemala.

I first entered Lincoln as an ELA teacher when it reopened in 2019. I’m excited to be returning this year in the role of Admin Intern. My goal is to focus on the larger systems within education and see how we can make changes to create schools that are more equitable for students. I’m lucky to be learning from such an incredible team.

Orchestra Director

Vicky Greenbaum looks forward to working with Lincoln orchestras. She enjoys conducting all kinds of orchestral musicians. Vicky happily conducted the Washington Middle School orchestras for a year, and she guest conducted at Garfield, Roosevelt, Ballard and Jane Addams the year before that. In California, she spent 22 years directing high school musicians in the Menlo Orchestra and Chamber Music program, in addition to the Art of Sound Summer Brass Institute, where she loved collaborating with members of the San Francisco Symphony and other important orchestras to educate talented young brass players. Vicky has conducted opera, musicals, and orchestras in schools in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Since her 1985 debut in Berkeley, when she accidentally ended up conducting Handel's Messiah with Berkeley Chorus, she has been invited to conduct a number of other orchestras, on purpose. As a professional violinist, she worked in Los Angeles, Houston and New York after studies with Robert Lipsett of CSU Northridge and Sally Thomas of the Juilliard School. But she never forgets her start in 7th grade beginning orchestra, where she tried Mr. Greco's patience by zoning out in the back of the violin section, being out of tune, in the wrong measure, and trying to play all the melodies by ear.

Hi! I am an IEP teacher at Lincoln High School. In my spare time, I love to play soccer, bake, garden and go on adventures with my husband and dog, Murphy. I love reading and traveling too. I have visited 17 different countries and my favorite thing to do is find local bookstores when I am there.

Ham, Jennifer

Math Teacher

jeham@seattleschools.org

My name is Jennifer Ham and I am excited to be teaching math at Lincoln High School. I graduated from the University of Washington in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Math and a Minor in Scandinavian Studies. I taught Math in the Marysville School District for 7.5 years at Marysville Pilchuck and Tulalip Heritage High School. We did some amazing work with Expeditionary Learning and Project based learning and I am excited to be involved in Lincoln as we establish as a Project Based learning High School. For the last 8 years, I took some time off to take care of my son. During this time, we moved to Seattle, renovated a house, and had many adventures as a family.

Outside of school, my family loves to explore Seattle including live music, theater, and wonderful restaurants. We also love to travel. Some of my favorite trips have been Norway, Italy, and the Philippines. I look forward to crossing more places off my bucket list soon!

Hanigan, Kate

IEP Teacher

Personal Message

I began my teaching career in the East Bay of San Francisco while attending the teacher credential program at Santa Clara University. While working as a high school resource classroom teacher and coaching youth soccer, I continued my education at SCU and completed a Master of Arts in Special Education. I currently hold teaching endorsements in social studies, history, ELL, and special education.

In 2004, my three sons and I moved back to my home town in Southwest Washington where I continued to work as an IEP teacher and case manager. Throughout my teaching career I have been most passionate about supporting students in their individual journeys. I am dedicated to providing all learners with opportunities that guide them to discover their unique strengths and abilities as high school students and as members of their communities. Additionally, I believe teachers should be role models as life-long learners. This belief led me to complete a Doctorate in Educational Leadership at the University of Portland before relocating to Seattle in the summer of 2018.

I am looking forward to working with such a great educational community at Lincoln High School.

I will be joining the Lincoln team in the World Language Department teaching Spanish. I am so excited to help build and create an enthusiastic team of language teachers. Being able to speak a second language is essential for the future of our students, and I truly enjoy helping students get there.

I am currently finishing my 7th year in teaching, three years at the high school level here in Seattle at Garfield and Roosevelt, before that I taught at the middle school level in Arizona. I completed my Masters in Education from the University of Arizona in 2011, and from 2007-2009 I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nicaragua.

Hello all! I am excited to be joining the Lincoln HS team this year as an IEP coordinator! I grew up in Boston, MA and earned my B.A. degree in History and Secondary Education from Framingham State University. After graduating, I worked as an Instructional Assistant in a high school for a few years before deciding to go back and pursue a master’s degree in Special Education. I taught high school special education for one year in the Boston area before making a solo move to Seattle. I have been living in Seattle for two years and have taught in the Bellevue School District before joining SPS as a teacher at Hamilton International Middle School. In addition to teaching, I have also worked as a high school and middle school track and field coach. I am super excited to be coaching our cross country team this fall and our track team in the spring! In my free time, I love to run and travel. To combine these hobbies, I have a life goal of completing a race in all 50 states. I also love cooking, eating, reading history books, being outdoors, and watching Tom Brady acquire more rings (GO PATS)!
