Message from the Principal

 
Dear Colleagues,


Welcome to the Dawn of the New Lincoln, where all students succeed, and all faculty and staff thrive!

 Welcome to Abraham Lincoln Senior High School, an outstanding educational landmark with more than 50 years of tradition in scholastics, athletic performance, community service, and artistic expression.

We like to think of our students as members of the Abraham Lincoln Senior High School Family. The expectations of our students and the ingredients for success remain the same as they have for more than half a century:

  • Respect fellow students, teachers, administration, staff members, and the school facilities.
  • Use the resources available to seek out assistance from teachers, guidance counselors, department heads, academy coordinators, coaches, staff members, and the administration for help or career guidance.
  • Maintain a cooperative attitude in working with teachers, and authority figures.
  • Become actively involved in clubs, music, sports, and extra curricular activities.
  • Do their best and seek to become better by constantly challenging themselves.
  • Accept nothing less from themselves than the best they have to offer.
  • Be respectful of the surrounding community and our alumni.
  • Most of all, carry the title “Lincoln High School Student” with pride and contribute positively to the legacy through their deeds and actions.
Attitude is a key component of success; we will work hard to have all members of the Lincoln’s Family of students, staff, and administration’s embrace an attitude where “Failure is Not an Option.”
