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!
