Additional Resources for the 2020-2021 School Year.

The college application process can be overwhelming, and even more so this year, when everything is different. Your first resournce at Lincoln is your counselor, but if you need more help, you can check out ASPIRE under the Counseling tab on the website or email our ASPIRE Coordinator, Audrey Yue at ayue@pps.net. If you need college essay help, email Amy Loy aloy@pps.net. If you want to discuss your career options, email our Career Coordinator, Shannan Fasold at sfasold@pps.net. Our goal is to help Lincoln Seniors navigate this process with a minimum of stress and anxiety. Together we can figure out your best strategy for applying to college, develop a timeline and work on your personal essays. Whether you are undecided about going to college or want to go out of state or out of the country, we can set up a google meet and figure it out together.
