A Message From the Principal
As students enter the middle school, there is always a certain degree
of anxiety that is experienced. They are no longer in elementary
school, and they are not yet in high school. They are "in the
middle." In 1989, the Carnegie Foundation had the foresight to
realize that students from the age of eleven to fourteen required a
unique educational program. The traditional junior high school model
did not meet the individual needs of young adolescents in this age
group. These young people have their own vision of the world around
them that does not reflect the vision of an elementary or a high school
student. It is our belief that a middle level educational program, in
which students are placed on academic teams, is better suited to meet
the needs of this student population. Middle level students benefit
most from programs which help them explore their talents and interests,
as well as develop new skills and aptitudes in a non-competitive
experience. While some competition may be healthy as a motivational
force, the point of diminishing returns is quickly met when frustration
and limitation are the results.
Learning is not isolated from everyday life. Our program provides
opportunities for students to apply learning to real-life situations.
Young adolescents inherently have a need to explore, to discover self,
and to discover and develop talents and interests. We believe that our
program provides opportunities for this to happen.
We invite members of the Lincoln
community to visit our school and look at our program. There is an open
invitation to community members to become part of our School
Improvement Team. The school improvement process is ongoing. The
ultimate goal of the School Improvement Team is to improve student
achievement and it is our belief that this goal is a community
responsibility.
