Principal

Dear Lincolnton High School Students and staff,

It is with great honor that I will be serving as your principal at Lincolnton High School.  LHS is rich in tradition and known throughout the state for academics, fine arts, and athletics.  This year we are raising the bar for our students, staff, and administrative team.  It is our responsibility to provide the best education and expose our students to multiple opportunities for the future.  We want to build well-rounded students and learn how to give back to our community through community service.  It is my expectation that all of our students graduate from high school and are prepared for college, the military, or the workforce.

If you ever have any questions or concerns about our school, please feel free to contact me.
