I am a born and raised Texan finding some relief from ridiculous temperature and flat topography here in WA; I graduated from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth where I earned a B.S. and ultimately a M.Ed in Secondary Science instruction. I stayed in the Dallas area to teach, and made the move to the Seattle area 3 years ago - I have taught high school science for 12 years in subjects including: Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, AP Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Earth Space Science. I have taught in traditional settings and more progressive PBL settings, and I have found that I truly value an experience where “WHY we learn this” and "doing something" with our content is at the forefront. In my free time, I have a borderline obsession with ultimate Frisbee and board games. I also enjoy spending weekends with my dog, Brodie, out hiking, camping, running, dog parking… pretty much whatever you can do with a dog – he’ll be there doing it with me. My major goals are to inspire and enable all students to ask relevant questions worth answering, and empower them to find relevant answers because: 1) they are scientifically literate members of society AND/OR 2) they can devise a way to answer these questions through their own resources and problem solving.

Hello, I’m Margaret Blair, (she/her) and I’m a native of the magnolia state, Mississippi. I’m honored to be joining the staff of Lincoln High School! Prior to moving to the Pacific Northwest, I had taught for 12 years in both middle (6-8) and high school English (I-IV) as well as the English electives, Debate and Oral Communication. I love to utilize quotes in my classroom and allow for students to offer their interpretations and thoughts to foster higher level thinking. One of my favorite quotes was stated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “…Intelligence, plus character- that is the goal of true education.” I received the Bachelor of Arts in English from Mississippi Valley State University, home of 49ers great, Jerry Rice. I then went on to earn the Master of Science in Education with Walden University. I’ve taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Language Arts for the past three years at Eckstein Middle School in the Seattle Public School district, and I’m ready to again submerge myself in the waters of high school life! I’ve been an owl, a cougar, a cub, a hornet, an eagle, and now I get to be a lynx!

My name is Nicholas Bubb, and I am a Career and Technical Educator for Lincoln High School. I have been teaching high school for five years in subjects including Media Productions, Family Health, and Medical Careers. I am a father of four children with ages ranging; 17yrs, 12yrs, and a set of twins that are 8yrs.

I have a broad background in professional audio recording/prod. and visual editing for film. I completed my education at The Art Institute of Seattle in 2017, earning a B.S. in Audio Production Engineering. Professionally, I have been utilized for audio and video editing for television, radio, music production, corporate media, and short documentary films. Prior to my career in media, I spent ten years in the US Army as a combat medic and licensed practical nurse (68W-M6). I was deployed for over 26-months during my two-tours of combat to Taji, Iraq (2006) and Kandahar, Afghanistan (2009). I held many leadership positions in my time in the Army, but most notably, was my role as the Ward Master/Assistant Nurse Manager for ICU-West at Madigan Army Medical Center (2010-2013).

Building mentors and future leaders is an honor and I believe that it is through integrity, for both teachers and students, in which this is accomplished. I am committed to ensuring that the students are provided a strong role model to emulate and a safe space to reside when needed. I am looking forward to growing professionally in this community and embarking on all opportunities ahead.

I officially began my education career in 2004, but becoming an educator had been my destiny for long before that. During my high school years, I gained a reputation for helping my peers succeed in their math classes. I left for college at the University of California at Santa Cruz knowing that I was going to major in math and minor in education in order to eventually earn a teaching credential. While there, I participated in a math teaching fellowship for two of my four years, a rare occurrence. I ended up earning graduating with honors in the major and college honors and was ready to take the next step.

And then, I spent the next couple years as a video game tester at EA and Nintendo and working odd warehouse jobs.

Just after the start of the millennium, I remembered my destiny and was accepted to Western Washington University’s Master’s in Teaching program at their former Seattle location. At this time, I also dove in and subbed in Edmonds for 8th grade PE, Kindergarten music, and whatever else they would give me on an emergency credential. After graduating in 2004, I joined the staff at Sammamish High School in Bellevue, earned my National Board Certification, taught almost every level of math (except statistics, which is not my favorite), and never thought I would leave.

The effects of the global pandemic caused me to reconsider a number of things in my life and when a position came up at a school that was closer to my home and doing interesting things with math, I jumped at the opportunity to shake things up. I’m pleased to spend my 18th year as an educator at Lincoln and look forward to working with the community to make this place as special as we can.

Cory Campbell hated history class in high school. It was only as a young adult in college that he learned  that history is more than boring facts and dates, that it is an account of what happened, constructed by historians through analyzing and evaluating evidence, and it’s super interesting and important.

Over the past 18 years, Cory has taught English as a foreign language in Madagascar, preschool in Ballard, and High School Social Studies at Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines, WA.  He endeavors to help students see how history shaped their identity and empower them to make the world a more just and joyful place. Cory enjoys playing and watching soccer (Go Sounders! Come on You Spurs!), reading, and listening to and playing music. In another life he would have been a composer.

My name is Emma Campbell (she/her). I have been teaching at Lincoln High School since 2020. I teach Language Arts and Journalism and love exploring texts and helping publish The Lincoln Log. I hold a BA in English and an MS in Curriculum & Instruction and have taught in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington.

When I’m not teaching, I love reading, exploring Seattle bookstores and restaurants, playing volleyball, and cheering on the Seattle Sounders with my husband Kyle.

I am excited to join the Lincoln community as an English Language Arts teacher. I grew up in eastern Washington and moved to Seattle in 2014 to attend the University of Washington. I have a bachelor’s degree in Law, Societies & Justice and English and a master’s degree in Teaching English. I enjoy iced coffee, swimming, reading memoirs, watching limited series, and attending concerts and live performances.

My name is Katie Cassidy (she/her) and I am in the social studies department at LHS. I am passionate about creating relevant social studies curriculum for civically engaged young people. Originally from the east coast, I graduated from Syracuse University with a B.A. in Social Studies Education, a B.A. in History, and a B.A. in Spanish. I recently completed my M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction from City University and my National Boards Certification in 2023. In my free time you can find me rollerblading, crocheting, and playing saxophone (not all at the same time…) Let’s have a great year! Go Lynx!

I’m Catherine Chapman (she/her), and I'm excited to teach Language Arts at Lincoln! Since 2018, I’ve been with Seattle Public Schools as a middle school teacher. Outside of SPS, I teach academic reading and writing in a college bridge program and volunteer as a docent at the Seattle Asian Art Museum. I love to travel! My earliest teaching jobs were in Russia and South Korea teaching English.

This Education journey has been exciting, and I’m thrilled to teach at LHS and focus on project-based-learning with a strong team of educators.
