From our Co-Principals
Dear Lincoln High School Families,
As we pause to reflect on the importance of giving thanks, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you—our students, parents, and guardians. Thanksgiving is a time for appreciating not only the blessings we have but also the people who make our lives more meaningful. It is in this spirit of gratitude that we thank each of you for your trust and partnership.
To our students, thank you for your hard work, dedication, and the energy you bring to our school each day. You inspire us all with your resilience and your commitment to growth. To our parents and guardians, we deeply appreciate your trust in us to guide and support your children through their educational journey. Your involvement and collaboration are integral to their success, and we are proud to work alongside you as partners in their learning.
The quality of happiness we experience in life often stems from the relationships we build and the gratitude we share. This year, we are thankful for the opportunity to work with such an incredible community of families who care deeply about the success and well-being of our students. Together, we are shaping brighter futures, and for that, we are truly grateful.
Wishing you all a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving Break with family and friends. We look forward to continuing our work together when we return to school on Monday, December 2!
