Hajimemashite! I am Keiko Ishikawa. I go by Keiko Sensei. I grew up in Japan and came to the United States when I was 23. After getting my teaching certification, I worked in elementary schools for 13 years (mainly immersion programs). I taught all grades, but Kindergarten during my teaching. I am a little nervous about teaching “older” students. But I am mostly excited to start my new teaching adventure at Lincoln High School!

I have worked in education for the last 6 years as an IEP case manager and Math Co-Teacher. During my teaching I have enjoyed working with students and being active in various service capacities on campus. While teaching, I earned my Master’s Degree in Special Education.  I am lucky to have found a true passion for education, meeting students where they are at, and helping them work toward their educational goals and potential. I am looking forward to continuing that journey with the students and staff at Lincoln! Prior to becoming an educator, I served 9 years on Active Duty in the United States Air Force, and was stationed in California, Cyprus, South Korea, Germany, and Afghanistan as an aircraft mechanic on the U-2, F-16, and A-10. I continue to serve in the Air Force as a Reservist. 18 years ago I met and married my best friend and we have been lucky enough to have two wonderful children Corinna and Isaac. On the weekends, you can find us running, enjoying the great outdoors, and having brunch!

My name is Jen Fox and I am thrilled to join the Lincoln HS Design Team. I want to help shape a school that empowers students to become thoughtful, creative and individual contributors to both our local and global communities. To accomplish this, Lincoln will require a robust science program to support all learners to achieve their goals. I have been a science educator with Seattle Public Schools for 18 years. During this time, I have worked as a middle and high school science teacher as well as a high school science instructional coach. Currently, I teach high school biology to 8th grade students at Hamilton International Middle School. I serve on both the SPS High School and Middle School Science Alignment Teams, Hamilton Science Department Chair and member of the SPS High School Biology Collaborations. I believe students learn science best when given a chance to work collaboratively through scientific investigations, analyze data and discuss their ideas to explain scientific concepts.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, graduated with B.S from University of Washington, M.Ed from Western Washington University and have been a Nationally Board Certified Teacher since 2007. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family, including two school-aged children in Seattle Public Schools.

Jonathan Fox has been teaching English language arts at Lincoln since 2019. Before that, he taught at Jane Addams Middle School and student-taught at Rainier Beach High School and Cleveland High School.

A creative writing and literature major in college, and a freelance writer and editor after graduating, Mr. Fox comes to the classroom with a dual appreciation of the joy and utility of artful, lucid writing and close, thoughtful reading.

My name is Nicholas Bubb, and I am a Career and Technical Educator for Lincoln High School. I have been teaching high school for five years in subjects including Media Productions, Family Health, and Medical Careers. I am a father of four children with ages ranging; 17yrs, 12yrs, and a set of twins that are 8yrs.

I have a broad background in professional audio recording/prod. and visual editing for film. I completed my education at The Art Institute of Seattle in 2017, earning a B.S. in Audio Production Engineering. Professionally, I have been utilized for audio and video editing for television, radio, music production, corporate media, and short documentary films. Prior to my career in media, I spent ten years in the US Army as a combat medic and licensed practical nurse (68W-M6). I was deployed for over 26-months during my two-tours of combat to Taji, Iraq (2006) and Kandahar, Afghanistan (2009). I held many leadership positions in my time in the Army, but most notably, was my role as the Ward Master/Assistant Nurse Manager for ICU-West at Madigan Army Medical Center (2010-2013).

Building mentors and future leaders is an honor and I believe that it is through integrity, for both teachers and students, in which this is accomplished. I am committed to ensuring that the students are provided a strong role model to emulate and a safe space to reside when needed. I am looking forward to growing professionally in this community and embarking on all opportunities ahead.

Cory Campbell hated history class in high school. It was only as a young adult in college that he learned  that history is more than boring facts and dates, that it is an account of what happened, constructed by historians through analyzing and evaluating evidence, and it’s super interesting and important.

Over the past 18 years, Cory has taught English as a foreign language in Madagascar, preschool in Ballard, and High School Social Studies at Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines, WA.  He endeavors to help students see how history shaped their identity and empower them to make the world a more just and joyful place. Cory enjoys playing and watching soccer (Go Sounders! Come on You Spurs!), reading, and listening to and playing music. In another life he would have been a composer.

My name is Emma Campbell (she/her). I have been teaching at Lincoln High School since 2020. I teach Language Arts and Journalism and love exploring texts and helping publish The Lincoln Log. I hold a BA in English and an MS in Curriculum & Instruction and have taught in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington.

When I’m not teaching, I love reading, exploring Seattle bookstores and restaurants, playing volleyball, and cheering on the Seattle Sounders with my husband Kyle.

Stephen Culpepper has been teaching high school math since 2016, previously at Redmond High School. He is thrilled at the unique opportunity to be a part of Lincoln High’s reopening, and looks forward to the coming year. After graduating from Western Washington University with a B.S. in Mathematics and minor in Music, returned to WWU to get his Masters in Teaching and make education his career. Stephen enjoys being a student as well as a teacher, and can usually be found in a class of some sort during his time off in the summer, either studying more math, or learning about other STEM subjects. As well as teaching, Stephen has been a high school basketball coach over the past few years, and is excited to be a part of the Lincoln basketball program. Outside of education, Stephen enjoys going to the movies with his wife, playing music, basketball, and spending time with friends and family.

My name is Anthony D’Amico and I am a Social Studies and Language Arts teacher here at Lincoln High School. I have been a teacher for about seven years now in Indonesia, Singapore, China, and now Seattle. I received my B.A. from Central Washington University in History with a minor in International Studies and began my career shortly thereafter. I received a Masters degree from the Singapore University of Social Sciences in Social Development and Community Leadership and worked for an NGO in Indonesia before coming back to Seattle and earning a Masters in Teaching from the University of Washington.

I believe that history and the social sciences are as important as ever. We live in a multicultural democracy and I want to cultivate a sense of civic mindedness in my students where we learn from and advocate for each other especially those experiencing injustice or discrimination. I love being in and around schools because there is so much energy, excitement, and potential. I am extremely happy to be at Lincoln where we all have an opportunity to create a long-lasting culture that connects our community to other ones in the city, state, country, and world. As an advocate and community member I cannot wait to help our students connect with ideas both locally and internationally.
