I had the privilege to teach at this school during my short time in Lincoln, Nebraska. I would not have left this place if I did not have to relocate for my spouse's work. Lincoln Lutheran is a special place with experienced staff, approachable & hard working administration, dedicated coaches, and families that are inviting. I would send my kids to school here if we were able to stay. Teachers and staff take such intentional time & dedicate it to the spiritual, academic, and personal growth of each and every student. Parents are supportive, and extracurriculars are top-notch. Your child will leave Lincoln Lutheran with a top-notch work ethic with our challenging curriculum, lifelong friends and advocates, and most importantly - an understanding & relationship with our Lord and Savior. Lincoln Lutheran will ALWAYS be home to me, and I hope it is for you and your family too.
