Congratulations, Class of 2026! Last night, Lincoln High School seniors joined Village Oaks' graduating class for a commencement ceremony celebrating the human connections our students have made throughout their time in Lincoln Unified.

We are proud of every senior who remained dedicated to their classes and on-campus activities while showing kindness toward each other and inspiring their fellow students. We look forward to seeing how they will positively impact others' lives while pursuing their dreams!

Jacob Gillig and Nadia Chandler are ready to share their knowledge and leadership with future students in their communities. These two seniors each earned $1000 through the Richard & Janet Ghio Teacher Scholarship, which is awarded to students who plan to teach from Kindergarten to the college level. We are proud of Jacob's and Nadia's achievement and look forward to seeing how they will use their Lincoln education to help others learn!

Mackenzie Wheeler made Lincoln history at the CIF State Swim & Dive Championship! She placed 5th in the 100 women’s freestyle, becoming the first ever Lincoln High School student to achieve this honor, as well as the first LHS Trojan to compete in the state championship event.

Mackenzie was ranked 11th in her division (7th Seed) heading into the championship. She is ending her junior year on an incredibly high note, and we know she’ll make LHS Aquatics proud as a senior next year!

Jason Aranda is a longtime Lincoln music student who is following in the footsteps of our many remarkable drum majors. Last weekend, Jason was the 1st Place Champion in the Parade Masters division of the California Drum Major Championships. For the 4th time in the last eight years, a Lincoln High School student has earned this honor!

Jason has been involved in music since the 4th Grade, when he joined his strings class at Brookside. When he became a freshman at Lincoln High last school year, Jason learned to play the flute in the Wind Ensemble. His goal was to join the marching band like his friend and former Lincoln drum major Atticus Chan. Jason learned the basics of marching and using a baton from his flute section leaders Viola Lee and Amulya Nakka while adapting to more difficult music. He also gained firsthand knowledge and experience working with previous 1st Place Drum Major Champions Zach Shi and Jackson Goudreau.

As a sophomore this year, Jason was sent to represent Lincoln at the 2026 California Drum Major Championships in El Monte. To win in his division, he completed a solo demonstration of the L Pattern, marching and spinning a mace to set music at specific distances. Jason felt good about his performance as he took the top prize in his division, scoring 95.25 points.

Though he was initially nervous about being in a competition with high school drum majors from across our state, Jason quickly found his peers from other schools to be friendly and welcoming. Jason has enjoyed his many experiences training and performing with other music students, and looks forward to practicing with his former drum major friends as he continues to develop his skills through his junior and senior years. Jason encourages other music students to experiment with various activities and performance styles, including field shows if they have not done them before.

We’d like to congratulate Jason on his remarkable achievement at the Drum Major Championships, and look forward to seeing how he’ll continue to help shape our music program!

Two of Lincoln High School's star baseball players have a bright future after graduation! Today, Cooper Conklin and Izaak Hill signed letters of intent to continue their baseball careers at the college level. Cooper will play for the Pacific University Boxers, while Izaak is set to be a Linfield University Wildcat.

Cooper and Izaak were joined by their baseball teammates and coach during lunch to celebrate their next steps as student-athletes. We look forward to seeing what these two will accomplish after graduating with the Class of 2026!
