Dear Parents,
Welcome to a great and exciting 2026-2027 Year at LIA Middle School!
It is with great joy that I welcome back our returning middle school students and families, and extend a special greeting to our new students, rising 6th graders. I would also like to welcome the families joining our Lincoln International Academy community for the first time.
Middle school is a transformative stage in a young person's life—a time when students develop greater independence, deepen their character, strengthen their faith, and discover their unique gifts and talents.
At Lincoln International Academy, we are committed to providing an educational experience that challenges students academically while nurturing their social, emotional, and spiritual growth.
Our dedicated teachers, supportive families, and remarkable students work together to create a community where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Grounded in the values of our Catholic faith, we strive to foster a culture of respect, responsibility, service, and excellence.
I look forward to partnering with you throughout the year as we guide our students on their journey of learning and personal growth. Together, we can help them develop not only the knowledge and skills they need for the future, but also the character and purpose that will inspire them to make a positive difference in the world.
Thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of educating your children. I am excited for all that we will accomplish together this year.
Blessings,
Dr. Jeanette Olivo
Middle School Principal
