Lincoln County works very hard to ensure that we are college ready. Also, they are well known for their DYW program which has the most participants and money raised in the entire state. I would like to see things like Senior trip and project graduation come back.

I have always felt safe at LCHS. Even when we had a bomb threat to where they had to evacuate the campus. I was a little shaken up but never felt in real danger with the fast action of the school administration and the law enforcement. Our school is newly renovated this year so it feels a lot cleaner and fresher, years before you could feel the age of the school. Overall I feel like getting to experience my high school career at LCHS was amazing. I wouldn't change a thing.

So as I had attended this school for a year and a half my overall experience was quite bad. There's a few classes that they would do absolutely nothing but sit around. On the other hand teachers like to pick favorites when it comes to the students they also don't know how to properly assist students...

This school plays politics too much and uses the positions to get ahead or to move on up the latter rather than to further education. Try to be inventive without thinking about the fundamentals of basic teaching methods and models. Too much fluff, entertainment and Admin. B.S.!
