About Me
Mr. Knowles came to teaching as a second profession through over 20 years in youth ministry leadership. I graduated from the University of Washington with a BA degree in Geography with departmental honors and university cum laude with Phi Beta Kappa distinction. Upon deciding to become a teacher, I entered a masters program at the University of Puget Sound and one year intense year later, received my Masters of Arts in Teaching degree in 2002. As a result of the academic work accomplished for the UW degree and a few additional extension coursework following, I became endorsed in the disciplines incorporating science and social science with Earth Science, History, and Social Studies endorsements.
