Lincoln High School is a flagship International Baccalaureate (IB) World School that offers both the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. All Lincoln students participate in the IB program — 9th and 10th graders through the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), and 11th and 12th graders through IB courses, with the full IB Diploma Programme available to those who pursue it. While the school emphasizes research, inquiry, and global-mindedness through its IB courses, it also maintains a strong Career and Technical Education (CTE) department featuring pathways including Audio Engineering, BioMedical Sciences, Computer Science & Robotics, and Culinary Arts. As a key hub for language studies, Lincoln serves as the high school continuation for the Spanish Dual Language Immersion program and offers advanced IB Mandarin for continuing learners.
The school’s newly modernized campus (completed in 2023) features a multi-story Innovation Center and MakerSpace equipped for STEM projects, digital media, and interdisciplinary learning. Beyond its core academic strengths in the arts and sciences, Lincoln supports student success through the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program and a dedicated College and Career Center. Students are encouraged to engage in a wide array of extracurricular opportunities, ranging from championship-winning athletics to community-focused initiatives like the Flock Feast Pantry program.
