 Condolences to classmate Steve Davidson on the death of his wife, Carole, on June 29, 2019.  Lincoln High classmates attending the First Thursday dinners have come to consider Carole "One of Ours", an official LINK.  She and Steve regularly attended dinners and it has been such a pleasure engaging with her in great conversations.  Carole stoically carried on as she battled very serious health problems over the years.  She was always upbeat and interested in others.  Please see Carole's obituary and photo on News & Concerns page.

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.”
