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 everyone! I am thrilled to be joining LHS for the upcoming year. I received my B.A. in Spanish and education from Boise State University (go broncos!) where I taught BSU Spanish conversation labs for Span 101/102 and Spanish levels 1-4 in the Boise School District. During this time, I also worked as a bilingual research coordinator for the International Center for Missing Children. Although - the highlight of my undergraduate experience was my time living and studying at the Universidad del País Vasco in the Basque country of Spain. After graduating, I received a Fulbright fellowship to teach English and conduct a community project on the Coast of Colombia - where I also earned my M.S. in curriculum and instruction.
As a PNW native, I can't get enough of this community. In my free time, you'll find me backpacking in the Olympics, reading in state parks, and exploring new coffee shops and sushi restaurants. Taylor Swift will be playing the entire time.
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)!
My name is Jo Holo (she/her), and I am so excited to join the Lincoln High community! I grew up in New York City and attended college in Chicago where I studied geology and chemistry. I then moved to California to complete a Master’s degree in Earth Sciences where I did research on climate change. During my graduate studies, I had the opportunity to act as a teaching assistant, which is when I really fell in love with teaching! I worked for a year as an environmental consultant before returning to school to become a science teacher. I am committed to fostering an inclusive, justice-centered classroom where diversity is celebrated and all students feel seen, valued, and empowered to learn. Outside of school, I love dancing, arts and crafts, and reading murder mysteries!
Hajimemashite! I am Keiko Ishikawa. I go by Keiko Sensei. I grew up in Japan and came to the United States when I was 23. After getting my teaching certification, I worked in elementary schools for 13 years (mainly immersion programs). I taught all grades, but Kindergarten during my teaching. I am a little nervous about teaching “older” students. But I am mostly excited to start my new teaching adventure at Lincoln High School!
Hello! My name is John Yoshiki Jarman and I go by Yoshiki-sensei at school. I am grateful to be here at Lincoln! It has been my dream to work for a public high school ever since I attended Aiea High School over 15 years ago. I have lived in Japan, Hawai'i, and all over Seattle.
I am a UW grad, a drum enthusiast, and proud parent of Winston (cat) and Riley (dog).
I am an educator because I am lifelong learner, a voracious bookworm, and believe deeply in the power and potential of schools to act as catalysts of community, solidarity, creativity, and love. I studied Child & Adolescent Development, English Literature, and Humanities at San Jose State University while working in the nonprofit education sector. After graduation, I became a certified teacher who has taught English Language Arts, Social Studies, Math at the high school level. In addition to reading, I enjoy cooking, yoga, jazz, swimming, and writing, and I spend most of my time outside of school with my sisters, niblings, and pets!
