Margaret Mason, English

"To paraphrase Aldous Huxley, we're at our best when in a state of maximum activity and maximum relaxation at the same time," states Margaret Mason, a UCSB graduate and literature and English teacher at Dos Pueblos High School. Ms. Mason has been on Dos Pueblos' staff for twelve years. Her favorite part about teaching is "watching young people get excited over ideas, and discovering the power of their own minds." She also advises the Vonnegut Conspiracy club and the Croquet Club, but when she is not educating the young minds of America she is either: running, reading, cooking, gardening; or, just hanging out with friends. Ms. Mason's favorite novel The Wings of the Dove, by Henry James, because "it provides a remarkable glimpse into human psychology." A hope that Ms. Mason has for her current students and the next generation is that "they will be productive and compassionate and lead very thoughtful lives."
