How it Works
Wall of Fame inductees are former Lincoln High students and teachers who have become outstanding members of their chosen profession. Inductees are presented to the student body at an afternoon assembly at Lincoln and honored that evening at an awards dinner. Plaques with each honoree’s photograph and biography are permanently on display on the Wall of Fame at Lincoln High School. In addition to honoring past alumni, we honor current students with scholarships.
Members of the Alumni Association are encouraged to nominate alumni or distinguished faculty whom they believe deserve this special recognition.
By recognizing the achievements of former graduates and faculty, goals will be set for and aspired to by future Lincoln graduates.
The Wall of Fame is accessible to all and is proudly displayed on the second floor by the Library. The state requires visitors to register at the main office first..
