Welcome to the Official LHS Class of 1961 Web Site

Since 2009 - 126,500 Site Visits - GO '61 LINKS!

 Project Talent, the organization that has been collecting information about our class and many other classes across the United States since 1960, is seeking high quality, reliable information on our aging population. You may remember that PT representatives were at our 50th reunion. In the next few weeks a random sample of classmates will receive a questionnaire from Project Talent. We encourage you to respond if you receive a questionnaire and to spread the word about this study to other classmates. Click here for a PDF copy of the letter that was sent to participants.

Lincoln High Receives National Honor

As School of Opportunity!

"Lincoln High School is one of eight U.S. public high schools honored as a “School of Opportunity” by the National Education Policy Center. The honor merited a mention in a Washington Post education blog “Answer Sheet,” which has published the winners of the project for several years and which notes that the project recognizes public high schools that work to close opportunity gaps by “creating learning environments that reach every student.”
