We regularly encourage all of our students to be on their best behavior and to be exemplary Railsplitters. Students that are consistently recognized by staff as being good citizens and community members are given Splitter Bucks. Pictured below are our most recent winners.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new official Instagram page: @lhs_railsplitter_pride!

This page is dedicated to keeping our student body and community informed and engaged. Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Updates on important school news
• Event highlights to keep you in the loop

• And much more!

It's time for our students to have a centralized platform for information and connection. Don’t miss out, follow us today at @lhs_railsplitter_pride and stay in the know!

We’re excited to share all the great things happening at LHS with you.

Go Railsplitters!

Did you know that we have a Counseling Office Facebook page? Please follow them for important updates.

LHS Counseling Department

Counselors have been meeting with all LHS students during their English classes to help them figure out their schedules for the 2025-2026 school year. We were able to capture some photos while they were doing so, check them out below.

In March, Lincoln High School is going to have a Community Day where we will focus on building up our school community and strengthening our relationships as a school family for a few hours. Our teachers are sharing activities with our students from community service activities (like creating Gift of Life blankets for donor families and making and donating dog treats to the Humane Society), to fun activities (like cards, games, movies, cooking, gardening, and crafting), as well as options to practice mindfulness activities. Donations would be extremely helpful, so we are able to have materials for our activities. Please see the Amazon Wish List below to see how you can help! Thank you for supporting us. Go Splitters!

Dear LHS Parents, Guardians, and Community,

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is committed to continuously improving the culture at LHS. Each week, we focus on one of our PBIS pillars: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, and Be Kind.

Supporting PBIS Rewards

Our PBIS Rewards program could use a refresh, and we’re hoping our Lincoln community can help! We’ve created an Amazon Wish List to support our efforts in recognizing and rewarding students for positive behavior. Thank you in advance for your generosity—it truly makes a difference!
