2024 Lincoln High School Awards Night!

The first scholarships of 2024 have been presented! It was an amazing night at Lincoln High School awarding over $24,500 in trade school scholarships, alongside our industry partners, to seven deserving students who aspire to pursue careers in the skilled construction trades. Excitement and gratitude were palpable emotions that evening as the CTE students, who often go unrecognized, got their moment to shine and bask in the support of their families, friends and industry sponsors. It was a joy to honor these students, meet and connect with all of them, their families and our sponsors in-person.
