I am honored and excited to be joining Lincoln High School! Although I was born and raised in Chicago, my family has made Seattle our home. I have been in education for the past 15 years serving as a paraeducator, teacher, interventionist at both middle and high school levels. Most recently I served as a Dean of Students in the Highline Public School District.
My educational journey in the PNW began as a special education teacher in the Bellevue School District. As I continued my growth in education it led me to the University of Washington and receiving my masters in Educational Leadership. From there I spent 3 years in the Highline School District as a dean of students. I am thrilled to be here at Lincoln High and I am dedicated to creating a learning community that is accessible and empowering for every student. My hopes that all Lincoln students feel seen, heard, and loved throughout their journey at LHS and beyond! Go Lynx!
I love spending time with my wife and two kids, all things football (BOTH the Chicago Bears and Seahawks), and have a love for comic books. I look forward to meeting and working with the Lincoln High community!
Hello! I'm Mitra Vahdati (they/them) and I am grateful to be a member of the Lincoln Counseling Team. I grew up in Southern California and moved to Washington to attend college. If I'm not at Lincoln, I'm probably working on some pottery, reading sci fi, taking an aimless walk or watching a horror movie with friends. I love getting to know students and their families, and I'm looking forward to supporting you all in your journeys through high school (and beyond). The Lynx community is a special one and I'm happy to be here with you all.
