Administrators Extend An Optimistic Note. . . The Lincoln Academy is fulfilling its mission It was conceived to be a school which would have expanded curricular offerings and a program that would allow students to accelerate their learning so that they arrive at a pace commensurate with their abilities This educational approach entirely appropriate for an urban school district — is rapidly reaching these two fundamental goals The staff, students and community are to be commended for the implementation of this program which shows strong promise of being in the vanguard of changes that secondary education must accomplish in the future. Rol)ert R. Wheeler Superintendent of Schools As strive to continue the acceleration of student learning, regardless of ability level, many nun-traditional educational exper- iences are offered to our students In a multi racial, multi cultural environment we intend to continue to offer more non-traditional opportunities for student growth to meet the challenges of society in the I980’s and beyond. I want to personally express my appreciation to the staff and student body for the excellent manner with which you have approached non traditional educa tion. William L. Rowan Dean, Lincoln Academy North Having arrived at Lincoln Academy South one semester after the Academy's inception. I have witnessed and participated in many changes. Most significant has been the successful effort to convince students and parents who reside outside of the Lincoln Academy attendance area, that L.A. can deliver accelerated quality education without resulting s tcial problems And I have watched the PTA s of both campuses unite to work towards providing a model school that brings into realization — integration without force.
