Lincoln High School Academic Boosters Club

A Note From The Boosters …

Giving our children the best chance for success in life is the goal of every parent. Giving our students the best chance for academic success is a primary goal of the Academic Boosters Club at Lincoln High School.

Since its inception in 1991, the Academic Boosters Club has been involved in many projects to turn this goal into a reality.
We encourage all parents, teachers, and community members to support academics at Lincoln High School.
Working with the Academic Boosters has been a very rewarding experience. We have enjoyed working alongside administration, faculty, and parents who share these common goals. The students we’ve worked with and honored are truly appreciative of our group’s efforts. This makes what we are doing even more rewarding and fulfilling.

We look forward to working with the Boosters in the future to make “Cougar Pride” a fact, not just a slogan. Please join us!
