I'm excited to teach science at Lincoln! I grew up in North Carolina, went to Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA, and fell in love with the PNW. I got my masters in teaching at UW and have taught in Seattle, Salt Lake City, UT, and Charlottesville, VA. When not teaching, I can be found mountain climbing, gardening, or experimenting with recipes. I love a good experiment!
Hello! My name is Maggie Montgomery and I’m so excited to be teaching at Lincoln. I grew up in Seattle and attended University of Washington- go dawgs! Previously, I taught at Roosevelt High School in Seattle, and overseas in Istanbul. I love to travel and spend time outside with family and friends. At Lincoln I teach social studies, language arts, and coach gymnastics.
I have been teaching visual and media art for the past few decades and am the ceramics and AP Art & Design teacher at Lincoln HS. I have taught seventh grade through college, and in various settings from traditional comprehensive to small public project-based schools. I grew up in Sumner, WA, I have a BA/BFA from Central Washington University, a Masters in Educational Technology from Pepperdine University, and my School Administration Certification from UW. I have also done work at OSPI to design and publish state art standards and outcomes in Media Arts.
Hi, I'm Haley Mullen and this is my 3rd year at Licton Springs. I teach Social Studies and Language Arts (ELA) to 7th and 8th grade and love doing exciting projects with students. I thrive on hanging out with my family, cooking, sharing, and eating good food, and going to see musicals. I am really excited for this upcoming school year!
My name is Josh Myers and I have been working in industry as an Electrical Engineer for a little over 20 years now. The first nine years were at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). While working at LIGO I also earned my Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University.
After earning my Master’s degree I moved to Sequim, WA, to work at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Marine Science Lab. I worked there until 2014 when I left to start my own company focused on making smart sensors to make it easier for students and hobbyists to integrate sensors into their own projects. While working on this project I also worked part time for A-M Systems. In 2016 I joined Leidos to assist with their efforts related to underwater robotics platforms.
For the last ten years I have also been a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) mentor. I was a founding member and one of the lead mentors of FRC team 3826, Sequim Robotics Federation. When I moved to the Everett area I joined FRC team 2930, Sonic Squirrels, as their Lead Engineering Mentor. I’m happy and excited to be bringing these experiences with me to Lincoln as I teach courses related to engineering, robotics and mechatronics.
Hi, my name is Omri Nimni, and I am super excited to be part of the Lincoln High School Social Studies team! I have had a deep love for the study of history for as long as I can remember. I am the one who corrected historical inaccuracies while watching movies. Social Studies classes were always my favorites growing up and I love the opportunity to pass that passion onto my students. I grew up in the Seattle area and am a proud product of Shoreline Public Schools.
From there I pursued my passion for history to a B.A. as well as a M.A. in history and then a Master's in teaching to bring it all home.
I am a huge fan of getting outdoors in the beautiful PNW and would literally eat every meal outside if I could. I would be happy to talk with you for hours on wonderfully nerdy things like video games, Harry Potter, Star Wars and many other things. Finally, outside of the teaching day I enjoy cooking and playing various multi-hour-long board games.
Daniel Noyes has logged more than 20 years teaching social studies, ELL and academic writing. Out of all the levels that he has taught, he is particularly endeared to teaching High School, since it is those teenage years that see students emerge as adults, whether they want to or not. It's especially rewarding to see students become aware the world is bigger than their own perspective. He is excited to be at Lincoln, not just because his father graduated there in the 50s, but because starting in a new school means that you can design learning experiences that truly prepare all students to be ready for that all essential political Office of Citizen.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in History/Social Studies and Political Science and a Master of Arts in Teaching, both from Western Washington University. My greatest passion is helping students build the skills they need to effectively participate in and contribute to their communities. I believe every student can be a leader in their community and enact positive change, which is one of the many reasons why I’m so thrilled to be a part of this new, action-oriented school. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors in any capacity, though my favorite pastimes are golfing, running, hiking, camping, and most of all, backpacking. Last summer, I completed the 93-mile Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier, solo, in nine days! When I can’t get outdoors, I love drinking coffee, playing Dungeons and Dragons, watching bad horror movies, and cuddling with my cat.
My name is Michelle Pentecost, and I am so excited to be joining the Lincoln team! I grew up in Louisiana, but after graduating from high school I moved to New York City to attend Columbia University, where I majored in English and Education. After college, I taught English at a public high school in the Bronx before moving to Seattle. Most of my career has been spent in Federal Way, where I taught high school English and Theatre for 9 years before moving to the FWPS district office where I served as the facilitator for all K-12 Fine Arts programs (Music, Theatre, Visual Arts, and Dance). As a teacher, I love when I get to see students have “a ha!” moments when they understand a difficult concept or make real world connections to the materials that we are studying. I believe that strong reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills are essential for all students, regardless of the career paths that they will choose to pursue, and I enjoy working with students who from a diversity of backgrounds and interests. As a resident of the Wallingford neighborhood, I am especially excited to take on the unique project of re-opening a historic school which will have a lasting impact on the place where my family has put down roots. I have a son who has just entered kindergarten at John Stanford and will be a Lincoln Lynx in only 9 short years! When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy reading, cross stitching, and watching terrible sci fi movies.
I have a BA from the University of Washington in history. Outside of school I am an assistant college softball coach at Shoreline CC, I am also the head coach for Diamond Sports Elite 18u travel baseball. At home I enjoy playing board games, watching documentaries, and researching new mental skills to help organize and problem solve. My favorite hobbies are going to sporting events, golfing, and being on the water.
I'm so very excited and elated to teach at Lincoln! My goal is to share my love of design-thinking and skill-building with students, as well as the joys of finding career opportunities and building pathways.
I'm a Seattle native -- growing up in Bellevue, with lots of time in Wallingford, West Seattle, Magnolia, and Queen Anne. I graduated from UW with a degree in advertising. My professional life started at Nordstrom (during high school and college), then as an art director for many really cool Seattle advertising agencies, as a creative director, a freelance illustrator and designer. My journey brought me to teaching, beginning at The Center School in 2001, as part of the original design team. I like to share time with my husband, three adult children (when they're not too busy living their own best lives!), and our dog, Woody.
