In 2018-2019 Students, alumni, families, teachers, and other friends of Lincoln High School will be celebrating the school’s sesquicentennial (150^th anniversary). LHS is one of the West’s oldest and most celebrated public secondary schools. Most events will occur in Portland – but some might be in far flung places around the world, wherever LHS alumni live!

L150 will include students, parents, alumni and the larger community. Alumni will be reminded of their affinity with our school. We all will celebrate and work towards a more just and equitable world, in the spirit of our academic and civic heritage.

 

Our Goals

To hold a celebration that is just, inclusive and participatory;

To have fun and renew friendships;

To build a strong base for excellence in the next 150 years;

To assist in the “Lincoln Rebuild” to prepare for the future;

To carry forward the Cardinal Spirit of inspired learning to make a better world for all.

To have fun!

Town Hall with Abraham Lincoln

(Featuring Historian Steve Holgate as Mr. Lincoln)

Lincoln High School Auditorium

February 14, 2018

9:30-10:30 (During Flex)

Come hear Steve Holgate, a historian famed for his depiction of President Abraham Lincoln, take questions in a Town Hall format – and answer with the language and the ideas of the 1860s.

The school year was over, but more than 500 K-5 teachers were hard at work preparing for the 2018-19 academic year at the PPS Summer Institute at Roosevelt High School. The two-day training gave teachers the opportunity to dig into the new language arts curriculum, and hear from teachers who are already using it. The teachers also learned how the curriculum aligns with state standards and the district’s newly adopted scope and sequence — an academic term for what will be taught and in what order. 

Portland Public Schools has refined and expanded its policy for handling complaints. The Board of Education, at its June 12 meeting, approved a revision of its complaint policy, with significant details added on procedures, types of complaints, timeframes and more.

Michelle Nicola, who recently completed her stint as a language arts and Spanish teacher at Bridger School, has received a Fulbright grant to study in Mexico.

Dear PPS Families,

As the 2017-18 school year comes to a close, I would like to appreciate our students, teachers, support staff, and school leaders for all their hard work. They have all earned a well-deserved summer break. This past week, more than four thousand students walked across the stage at the various high school graduation ceremonies and received their diplomas. Congratulations to our seniors on reaching this important milestone. We wish you much success in your next endeavors.
