Seattle Public Schools

I am excited to join the Lincoln High School team as your Fiscal Specialist. My involvement with Seattle Public Schools began with volunteer positions as the PTSA Treasurer and President at my children’s elementary and middle schools. I transitioned into a new career when I accepted the Fiscal Specialist position at Washington Middle School 6 years ago. The change has been rewarding as I really enjoy interacting with and helping the teachers, families and students in the school community. As a bonus, the long breaks in the school schedule provide my family the opportunity to travel overseas or take extended road trips across America. On the weekends, you might run into me around town at one of my kids’ activities or at the Sounders game. If not, I’m probably hiding in my shop tinkering with old cars.

Personal Message

I am proud to be joining the Lincoln High School team. I have worked in education the last 15 years serving as teacher, activities coordinator, and administrator at both the middle and high school levels. Most recently I served four years as the Assistant Principal at Renton High School prior to starting in my new role as Assistant Principal of Lincoln on July 1, 2018.

My educational background includes both my undergraduate and graduate studies at Western Washington University with a primary teaching endorsement in the Social Studies. In addition to my teaching I have worked with the state Principal Association (AWSP) in developing and delivering leadership curriculum for our state-wide leadership camps and moved into the building leadership capacity with a strong belief in equity and providing as many opportunities for every student to achieve.

I am a family man, love the outdoors, and a die-hard Seahawks fan! I am looking forward to my work with Lincoln High community!

Howdy! My name is Dante Rhodes and this is my second year as principal at Licton Springs.  I served as the head teacher for the two years before I became principal. I really enjoy working with our students, families, and staff. We are a great community! 

I am from Houston, Texas and taught in elementary schools in Houston and Austin, Texas. I attended The University of Texas at Austin for my undergraduate degree in Education, and Lamar University for my Master’s degree in Educational Administration.

I am excited to be here in Seattle with my two pups, Buddy and Bentley. In my spare time I enjoy playing with my dogs, traveling, and exploring Washington. I look forward to continuing serving our school community!

I have been working in the office at Licton Springs for 10+ years, and was a parent here for several years before that. Before I began working in the school office, I worked as a medical receptionist for 10 years. I am the mother of 3 and grandmother of 2. In my free time I like to be crafty, I always have a crochet project (or 2) in process, I am a non-skating referee for a local roller derby league, and I like playing games; from classic board games to D&D to video games like Animal Crossing and Tetris.

Annette Godon joined Lawton Elementary in 2011. Prior to coming to Lawton, she worked at the district office as well as almost every school within the district as a clerical substitute. Annette has two children who have graduated college.  Both attended SPS from Kindergarten through High School.

Ms. Godon has a degree in Marketing and worked within the industry before her kids were born. She is currently very happy with her second career supporting students, family and staff within the educational environment. You might see Ms. Godon and her husband walking through the neighborhood.
