MEET KATIE HATHAWAY!
Q&A with Katie Hathaway:
What is your preferred name and pronouns? My preferred name is Katie, and my pronouns are she/her.
What do you do at Lincoln? I teach Spanish; this year, I teach levels 1, 2, and AP.
At what other schools have you worked? In Seattle, I have worked at Roosevelt and Garfield, and then I have also taught at two middle schools in Tucson, AZ.
What traditions or personal touches are you bringing to Lincoln? This year at the Homecoming assembly my classes danced to one of the songs we sang in class, we practiced for a few weeks, and all of my classes could participate. I would love to continue to do this once or twice a year. It brought a lot of people together in a fun and creative way.
What's your favorite memory of high school? I attended Roosevelt High School, one of my favorite memories from high school, would be when I won the consolation final (9th place) at the state swimming championships in the 500-yard freestyle.
Thank you, Katie, for sharing with us!
