To my dearest students,

Welcome back to school! You are finally (and physically) here! These next few years will be life-changing. I hope you will have as smooth of a transition into in-person school as possible, considering the insanity in which we are all living.

My name is Sheryl Mason and this is my 17th year teaching young adults. I have taught all levels of biology - general, honors, and advanced placement (AP) and this year I am adding on the AVID elective to my repertoire. While incredibly stressful to teach and manage life in general, I still LOVE my job. I learn so much from young people and am reminded daily about how important it is to connect so we have the best experience possible. You will be the ones to CHANGE THE WORLD for the better.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Washington in 2003 and a Master in Teaching from Seattle University in 2005. I earned my National Board Teaching Certification in 2012. I am also an SEP Teacher through the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and plan to introduce you to the latest in biotechnology and research. Yet every day, there is so much to learn and try. New teachers, old teachers, and my very own students teach me every day the ways I could be better at my craft. We never stop growing.

​During the school year, life is teach / grade / plan / study on repeat. Outside of school, I team up with my husband James to entertain, engage, and keep our two mini humans, Maverick and Apollo ("Mav" and "Ollie"), happy, healthy, and adaptable. Before children and occasionally when we have time, we play volleyball, softball, flag football, and snowboard. We are huge Mariners and Seahawks fans. These days we play Dungeons and Dragons and work on our project home on Spring Lake (talk to me if you're into renovations! I have a blog.). Life is good to us, and I am so grateful.

I wish you ALL THE BEST this school year. I will do my absolute best to make this course memorable, fun, challenging, and engaging for you. Please reach out to me any time.

Sincerely,

Sheryl Mason
