South
Lincoln’s small school environment allows us the opportunity to provide
our students with more individualized, one-on-one attention yet still
maintain a full range of activities for everyone. We are a school filled
with incredible talent, endless energy and a group of staff and students
who continually strive to make South Lincoln the best high school in the
District School Board of Niagara. Our caring and committed staff works
tirelessly to ensure our students enjoy a very positive secondary school
experience. From academics in the classroom to extra-curriculars after
school, the halls of South Lincoln are never idle. The result is an
atmosphere in which students are fully engaged and feel supported in
their learning.
As you
browse through our website, you will get a look at our achievements over
the past and current school years. Our Grade 9 EQAO results for the
2007-2008 year continue to shine in Math. For the second consecutive
year, South Lincoln students ranked FIRST in the District
School Board of Niagara in the area of Applied Math with 74% of our
students achieving Level 3 or 4; in Academic Math, 64% of our students
achieved Level 3 or 4 placing us 9th in the DSBN. Our OSSLT
Literacy results for the 2008-2009 year are impressive. We ranked
second in the DSBN for first-time writers (93%). Both of these
achievements rank above the DSBN and Provincial averages of 83% and 85%
respectively.
I invite
you to browse our web site or walk through the doors of our school at
any time. Take some time to read or witness all of the great things
happening at South Lincoln. We are truly a school that is the heart of
its community.
