teachers are evaluated each year of our SIG grant), providing relevant, effective
professional development directly connected to the district Strategic Plan as well
as Lincoln Comprehensive School Improvement Plan, managing the 2.2 million
dollar SIG with assistance from our Central Office, actively participating in data
teams, providing quality feedback on lesson plans and after walk-throughs.
Lincoln earned the Dr. Arlis Swartzendruber Award for Academic Excellence

as 33.14 percentage points in math.
