Happy New Year! 🎉 As we step into 2025, we’re excited to welcome our students back from winter break and continue this journey of growth, curiosity, and connection together.

Students will return to school on Tuesday, January 7th and should report to Period 1 to begin the day. We look forward to seeing their energy, enthusiasm, and drive as we embark on another semester filled with opportunities to learn, explore, and thrive.

Thank you for being such an integral part of our Lincoln community. Here’s to a year of empowerment, belonging, and inspiration for all!
