7th Grade

My name is Aubrey Titus and I am so excited to be joining the Lincoln Academy team. I have been a teacher for 16 years, and have had the fortune of teaching in schools around the country. I’ve taught in Chicago, Denver, and a small rural town in Vermont. Most recently, I’m coming from Drake Middle School here in Arvada, where I’ve been teaching 6th and 7th grade ELA for the past two years. My son (Jack, 5) will be entering kindergarten here at Lincoln Academy in the fall, and I’m looking forward to both of us being in the same place! 

I grew up in Loveland, Colorado, where I first developed my love of education through my summer jobs as a tutor and at a summer camp. I then went to school at the University of Colorado for my BA. After graduating, I moved to Chicago where I did my first three years of teaching and also got my Master of Arts in Teaching. My main goal as a teacher is that students feel included, engaged, and curious. Each year, I strive to make my classroom a warm and welcoming environment for all students.  

My hobbies include traveling, baking, tennis, gardening, and of course, reading! I am in two book clubs, and look forward to opening each new book I read. I can’t wait to meet everyone!

Hello, Lincoln Academy community! My name is Amy Parrott, and I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the team as the 7th grade Science teacher! Teaching is my passion, and after spending the last two years as a Science Curriculum Specialist where I had the pleasure of supporting other Science teachers in grades K-12 in developing engaging lessons, I am beyond excited to step back into the classroom and bring Science to life for my students. 

This will be my 13th year in education, and I can't wait to spark curiosity and encourage discovery.

Outside of the classroom, I am a wife and mother of two, and we love spending time outdoors. Whether it's hiking, camping, or biking, we are always looking for new adventures and ways to explore nature together. 

I am so excited to meet my students, collaborate with families, and become a part of the Lincoln Academy community. Let’s make this next year an amazing year of learning and discovery!

I have worked as a Jeffco math teacher for the last fourteen years and happily found my way to Lincoln two years ago. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology at Brigham Young University, followed by a teaching certificate at the University of Colorado, and eventually added an endorsement in middle school mathematics. I’ve heard it said that elementary teachers teach because they love children, high school teachers teach because they love their subjects, and middle school teachers teach because they love both. I consider myself lucky to be part of the LA community where I can simultaneously focus on both kids and math.

I have 4 kids (all grown) who are all four years apart, and we take every possible opportunity to travel together en masse. My favorite place in the entire world is in the wilds of the Sawtooth Mountain Range in central Idaho. During our annual summer trips, we hike, fish, paddleboard, build bonfires, get eaten by mosquitoes, ride dirt bikes, and look forward to hot showers upon our return. It’s my little piece of heaven on earth.

When at home, I enjoy gardening, reading, baking, and walking out of the gym after a workout. I wish I could say I love walking into the gym, but I wouldn’t want to lie.

Emily Hall graduated with a degree in Education from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2003, and graduated in May 2008 from Colorado Christian University with a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instructional Design. This is Mrs. Hall’s 22nd year at Lincoln Academy and she is very excited to continue teaching History in the 7^th and 8^th grades. Mrs. Hall delights in traveling around the USA and the world. She and her husband enjoy spending time with their two children. Mrs. Hall loves to read, attend musical theater, cook, and study history. She looks forward to sharing these passions with middle school this year. 

Mr. Nishida is entering his 20th year at Lincoln Academy, and he is once again excited to be teaching technology to 7th and 8th graders and developing their communication skills through media. Mr. Nishida received his bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems from Colorado State University way back in 1987 and has over 13 years of experience in the IT industry. Mr. Nishida also holds a Master's Degree in Instructional Technology from Fort Hays State University. Mr. Nishida loves to play and watch sports, but his passion is spending time with his family and "close" friends, and will never pass up a game of Pickleball!
