National Principals Month Spotlight: Dr. Corey Eichner 🌟

A culture of innovation, curiosity, and real-world learning helps make Lincoln High School a place where students can grow as scholars and citizens. This year, Lincoln High School moved up to #4 in Washington in the U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools rankings, a reflection of the school's commitment to academic excellence and meaningful student learning.

Led by Principal Corey Eichner, Lincoln's project-based learning approach encourages students to think critically, solve complex problems, and engage with the world around them. The recognition highlights the hard work of Lincoln's students, educators, families, and staff, whose collective efforts help create a dynamic and supportive learning community.

"It is a great honor to be recognized as the #4 school in Washington by the U.S. News and World Report for Best High Schools," said Principal Eichner. "I am so proud of our students and the amazing learning community we have here at Lincoln. As a project-based school, we work to prepare our students to navigate a complex and dynamic world through experiential learning that inspires students to think critically, solve problems, and engage empathetically as global citizens. This recognition showcases how truly special Lincoln is, and I am grateful to the commitment and hard work of our staff and families in support of our students."

During National Principals Month, we're proud to celebrate Principal Eichner and the entire Lincoln High School community for creating engaging learning experiences that empower students to succeed in school and beyond.

This exchange is part of the ongoing Ocean to Table Program, which will continue later this month when Ingraham students visit Chief Kitsap Academy. Thank you to the students and educators who are building connections, sharing knowledge, and learning from one another.
