LINDBERGH ROYALTY: CELEBRATING THE FLYERS WHO MAKE LHS SOAR
Homecoming is about tradition, school spirit and celebrating what makes Lindbergh High School special. For the second year, one of those traditions will put the spotlight on the students who help make LHS what it is every day.
Lindbergh Royalty returns for Homecoming 2026, recognizing an outstanding group of leaders, role models and doers while continuing the tradition of a Homecoming Court.
Rather than focusing solely on a traditional court, Lindbergh Royalty celebrates students across four areas that represent the many ways Flyers make an impact: Academics, Athletics, Performing Arts and Student Involvement. The goal is to honor students who make Lindbergh such an amazing place to be. This recognition is about celebrating the spirit of leadership, involvement and excellence that makes our Flyers community soar, while still maintaining the tradition of having a Homecoming Court.
Students will vote to select one Lindbergh Royalty recipient from each of the four categories.

MORE THAN A HOMECOMING COURT
Twelve students. Four categories. Countless ways to make Lindbergh better. That is what Lindbergh Royalty is designed to celebrate. These Flyers compete, perform, lead, serve, achieve and encourage others to get involved. They represent different parts of the LHS experience, but they share something important: each has helped make Lindbergh a better place through their contributions.
The four 2026 Lindbergh Royalty recipients one from each category will be announced as part of the Homecoming celebration. Congratulations to all 12 members of the 2026 Lindbergh Royalty Court!
ONE CREW. TAKE FLIGHT.
