Kathy Mayeda started teaching resource room classes in 1999, the year her oldest child was a senior in high school and her youngest child was in first grade. She has been at Cleveland STEM High School since the 2012-2013 school year. She lives in West Seattle with her husband and their cat and enjoys hiking and cooking great big family dinners on Sunday afternoons.
Hello! My name is Ms. Magana and I teach 10th grade Humanities. This will be my third year at Cleveland STEM High School. I originally grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Washington in 2014 to pursue my teaching degree at the Evergreen State College. I also have a masters degree in Creative Writing from the University of Edinburgh, and a bachelors degree from the University of Southern California. My hobbies include reading, writing, music, photography, and ballroom dancing.
Unfortunately I cannot answer phone calls live at the moment, but leaving a detailed voice message (with your name, phone number, and message) will help me a lot. I will get the calls in my e-mail and can get back to you as soon as possible.
Francis Lin is at Cleveland STEM High School and previously was teaching middle school in Renton School District. In addition to teaching science, Lin also oversees Super Smash Bros. Club and K-Pop Dance Club. Before becoming a teacher, Lin worked as an Academic Adviser at the University of Washington.
I graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. and played varsity soccer, basketball, and baseball in high school. In college I was on the school’s bowling team. I have taught PE for 24 years and this will be my 11th year at Cleveland High School. I also taught middle school in L.A. for 7 years and at Mercer Middle school for 6 years. I love working with high school age students teaching PE. I live in Port Orchard and commute on the ferry every day. I have been married for 23 years and have 5 children including a senior and sophomore in addition to a 6th grader, 8th grader, and college sophomore at BYU. I am passionate about family, traveling, basketball, and (this is an odd one) fantasy baseball!! 🙂
I am a math teacher at Cleveland STEM High School. I teach Geometry and AP Statistics in a collaborative, complex instruction model. This will be my 6th year at CHS.
Outside of school I enjoy family, cooking, playing music, backpacking, basketball, and golf.

These are extraordinary times that while riddled with heartache, trauma, and growing inequalities, are also times that are filled with hope and possibility. It is my goal and my duty as an educator – particularly as an educator of color who teaches young people of color – to help those young people uncover their truths and manifest their dreams so that they feel empowered to liberate themselves and the world.
I’m entering my 6th year as an educator and am officially claiming the title of an abolitionist teacher, which means I am committed to…’the practice of working in solidarity with communities of color while drawing on the imagination, creativity, refusal, (re)membering, visionary thinking, healing, rebellious spirit, boldness, determination, and subversiveness of abolitionists to eradicate injustice in and outside of schools’ (Dr. Bettina Love — We Want To Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom).
I am excited to be a part of the Cleveland community – go Eagles!
