Lincoln High School

I believe a building is only a part of what 'school' is...it is the teachers, the parent involvement, the student's attitude and inherent abilities (and disabilities), the chemistry of the particular classroom the child is placed into by fate, and all the surrounding factors like home life, love life, work, personal interests, sports, clubs and other extra curricular involvement that makes up an 'educational experience.' School is what you make of it. It always has been, and always will be. A teacher is there to provide guidance to the students' willingness to learn. An excellent school for one student can be a nightmare for the next... My children excelled in Ypsi Public Schools their first 6 years and they excelled in Lincoln schools their last 6... My daughter walked away with enough scholarships through Lincoln to pay for almost her entire first year of college, and the scholarships are still coming in in August! If you pursue excellence you will find it. Period. Lincoln did my children well, counseling took so much time with my daughter, but it is because she pursued their guidance...you can drag a horse to water, but you can't make them drink! In turn my children have become a part of the Splitter legacy, and Im proud of the values Lincoln has instilled in my children and the values they brought to the table themselves. It's just too bad that silly reviews written by disgruntled parents or students (who probably weren't doing their part to do their best or cooperate mind you) could make or break a decision of a perspective family to a new district. School is what it is: It is your job to embrace it!
