(pop. 593,820) near many cultural institutions and the
city’s business and retail core. The urban experience
enriches classes with field trips, field research and
internship opportunities. Lincoln enjoys significant
parent and community support as evidenced by
thousands of hours of volunteering and fundraising.
A rich tradition of excellence began in 1869 when
Lincoln was established as the first public high school
in the Northwest. Current students aspire to be the
next generation of leaders in their respective fields
and are proud of illustrious alumni who include
senators, mayors, governors, Olympic athletes,
Pulitzer Prize winners and an Emmy winning
cartoonist.
Lincoln is a comprehensive 9-12 urban high school,
noted for its academic climate and rigor. The college
preparatory curriculum features a wide array of
advanced classes in Art, English, Math, Science,
Social Studies and World Languages (including

Local and international grants support our thriving
STEAM program. Electives in Computer Science and
Business Management inspire students to consider the
future. Authorized to offer the International
Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme’s curriculum,
Lincoln embraces an open access IB policy that
allows all students to opt into their choice of IB
classes. Full IB Diploma candidates must meet
standards on international exams and complete IB’s
