Welcome to High School
Dear Parents, Students, and High School Community:
As I begin my ninth year as High School Principal for the 2026–2027 academic year, it is with great enthusiasm and heartfelt gratitude that I welcome both our returning and new students and families to another exciting year at Lincoln International Academy.
Each new school year represents a new beginning—a fresh opportunity to learn, to grow, to serve, and to become the person God calls each of us to be. Every year, I am reminded how incredibly grateful I am to be part of our students' and families' lives. It is truly an honor to accompany our students during this important chapter and to witness the final stage of their high school journey before they embark on the exciting adventure of college and beyond.
As a Catholic, Christ-centered school, everything we do is rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church. Our faith is the foundation of our community and guides our decisions, our relationships, and our commitment to academic excellence. We strive to nurture not only knowledgeable students but also young men and women of integrity, compassion, and service who live their faith in meaningful ways. Together, we continue to embrace our school motto: "Learning Today, Leading and Serving Tomorrow." These words remind us that education is about much more than academic success, it is about preparing students to become servant leaders who positively impact their families, communities, and the world.
To our Class of 2027 and your families, this is your final year of high school. Make every moment count. Challenge yourselves academically, embrace every opportunity, support one another, deepen your faith, and create memories that will remain with you for a lifetime. As I always remind our seniors, once you leave the nest, you will always have a home here at LIA.
Let us also remember that the success of our students is a shared responsibility. It takes all of us, students, parents, teachers, staff, and administrators working together to inspire, encourage, and support one another so that every student can meet and exceed their God-given potential.
Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and commitment to our school community. I look forward to another wonderful year filled with learning, growth, faith, and unforgettable moments.
May God bless each of you and your families as we begin this new school year together.
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year!
Warm regards,
Thelma Vogel

Choosing the right school is key for success in and out of the classroom. The most important quality a school and its educators can have is the understanding that great minds and great leaders are fostered not only through a rigorous curriculum that covers every possible requirement to attend any college in the world but also through programs that build leadership, social, service skills, such as STUCO (Student Council), Honor Societies, Service Learning Clubs, LIA Houses among many others. At Lincoln, we not only believe in this but also live it daily through everything we do. Every student that comes to LIA and more importantly, graduates from LIA will take with them all the skills needed to achieve the goals they set for themselves.
AP Courses
We offer 20 Advanced Placement Courses for College Credits
Sports
Sports provide important life skills like leadership and dedication, helping students form deeper friendships and gain discipline and confidence.
STREAM
We provide an approach to learning that uses Science, Religion, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.
Electives
We offer a variety of electives that include both AP and regular. They give students the opportunity to take classes that foster specific interests outside of our curriculum and help them build a stronger resume for college applications.
Honor Societies
Belonging to the National Honor Society is a privilege. Students must have important pillars in Leadership, Scholarship, Service, and character in order to be considered for membership in NHS. We also have other Honor Societies for subject areas. These are NEHS (National English Honor Society), SNHS (Science National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta (National Math Honor Society) and RHO KAPPA (National Social Studies Honor Society).
LIA Houses
Students & HS staff are grouped into 4 Houses using diverse criteria to foster communication and peer learning. The four Houses are Lionhearts of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Griffins of St. Theresa of Avila, Wolves of St. Francis of Assisi, and Golden Cobras of St. Patrick.
High Shool Leadership Team
Communication is key for our team and we are always available during school hours to answer questions to ensure your child feels safe, supported, and cared for. Do not hesitate to contact us.
