As we reflected on the 2025–2026 school year, we were incredibly proud of our students, teachers, staff, families, and community for the hard work, dedication, and commitment they demonstrated throughout the year.

This success was a reflection of what could happen when Chief Nation worked together, supported one another, and remained committed to helping our students grow.

Thank you for investing in our Chiefs and in West Lincoln Middle School.

We Connect. Empower. Equip.

WLMS was one of 220 schools from 38 states across the country to receive a $5,000 grant through the Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries. Our library will use the funds to update and diversify our collection. Libraries help open doors far beyond the classroom, giving children the resources they need to dream, explore, and be bold,” said Mrs. Bush. “When we support school libraries, we are encouraging students to be strong readers and lifelong learners.”

WLMS dropped a heartbreaker to ELMS Wednesday evening 8-7. Our Chiefs peppered the baseball all over the field and batted .500 for the game. Offensively, the Chiefs were led by Hunter Chapman who went 3 for 3 with a homerun. Multiple players collected 2 hits each. Pax Hood came in to relieve Austin Myers on the mound and pitched well. Although the Chiefs were on the losing end tonight, they will dig deep and play good ball moving forward.
