The Lincoln PTSA Board
Want to get involved? We’d love to have you join us! We are always looking for committee members and additional hands; we are growing as Lincoln High School grows.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Lincoln PTSA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee supports Lincoln families whose children may not be receiving equal education opportunities due to factors such as race, religion, special education, health conditions, gender identity, sexual orientation, poverty, homelessness, and other normal aspects of being human.
The DEI helps families network with other families facing similar issues, seeks to identify and share with the Lincoln community what improvements need to be made at our school, and seeks to contribute toward solutions.
We are currently seeking a DEI Chairperson to join PTSA. Please contact LincolnPTSAPresident@gmail.com if you are interested!
