Seattle Public Schools

I've been working at Blaine for 13 years. My students range in age from 3 years to 15 years. I enjoy the diversity of students ages and needs. In my down time, I like to sail, ski, garden, cook... Traveling with my two boys and husband is always top on my list.

My name is Darlene and I’m your part time school nurse. I enjoy helping to make sure you are healthy and ready to learn. I enjoy staying active with my two teenagers who are in 8th and 11th grade. My hobbies include gardening, running and ancestral research. Education: MBA Western Governors University, BSN & BA University of Washington / ADN Highline Community College

Hello! This is my first year at Blaine and I am so excited to have the opportunity to help build the music and theatre departments. Prior to this year, I was the music technology specialist at Green Lake Elementary. I am excited to bring a modern take on music and the arts to our wonderful Blaine students.

I grew up nearby in Mukilteo but ever since I was little, I've dreamed of living in Seattle and contributing to this wonderful music and arts community. On top of teaching, I perform in several choral ensembles. Performing is such a joyful part of my life and I am excited to offer opportunities for these students to do the same!

Beyond teaching and performing, I am a dog lover, cat owner, and avid explorer!

Hello and welcome to the new school year! I'm so excited for another year teaching math and computer science (a new elective) at Blaine!

My teaching career started in the Auburn School District from 1998-2011. After that I moved to SPS, and it was nice to be working closer to my Ballard home! In the last 20 years I've taught 4th grade, 5th grade, middle school ELA, Geography, Science and Math (my personal favorite). I love teaching 6th and 7th grade math at Blaine! Sports are another love, and besides cheering on my Mariners and Seahawks, my favorite NL baseball teams are the Cubs and Dodgers... maybe that will help you figure out which one in the picture is me!
